After the chase, the other driver pulled over at a gas station on Highway 70 and deputies responded, officials said. The driver initially reported no injuries, but deputies found a projectile lodged in the back of a safety seat and a corresponding minor injury to the back of the driver's 4-year-old child, officials said. The boy was treated on the scene and didn’t need further medical care, officials said.
