A Winnipeg police officer shot at a stolen vehicle this week after it crashed into one of their cruisers in an attempt to escape a roadblock, police say. The stolen vehicle was spotted by police around 12:40 a.m. on Tuesday going across the Arlington Street Bridge. A woman on the passenger side jumped out and ran just as officers arrived to block the vehicle. A 20-year-old woman is charged with assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, fleeing police and possession of stolen property. A 27-year-old woman is charged with possession of stolen property and failing to comply with prior court orders.
