Today, at approximately 3:55 p.m., officers observed a vehicle that was wanted in connection with an armed carjacking in another jurisdiction being driven on Moraga Road into Moraga.  The officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver failed to yield to the officers.  Officers pursued the vehicle and as it was passing by Campolindo High School, one of the occupants threw a gun out of the car (the gun has been recovered).  The pursuit continued until the suspects stopped at the intersection of Camino Pablo and Shuey and three suspects ran from the car.
