If escape was on their minds, four Mount Si High School students did not choose the best targets to shoot with pellet guns Tuesday, according to the State Patrol.

One of the girls hit in the drive-by shooting was the daughter of a state trooper, who chased and arrested the four boys.

The students were in a Ford Explorer driving around North Bend about 3 p.m., and at least two of them shot two 15-year-old girls as they got off the school bus, the Patrol said. The boys in the SUV followed the girls and continued to shoot them as they ran to one of the girl's homes, according to the Patrol.

Parked outside the home was a State Patrol car and inside was the girl's father, a state trooper and former Navy Seal. Upon hearing the distraught girls' story, he leapt into his patrol car and followed the boys as they sped away, troopers said.

The trooper stopped the boys on a dead-end road near Rattlesnake Lake, pulled his gun and took them into custody, according to the Patrol. All of the boys have criminal records, the Patrol said. The girls, also students at Mount Si, had minor injuries.
