Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies teamed up to hunt down 15 illegal immigrants after a bailout Friday afternoon.

According to the Jim Wells County Sheriff's Office, one of the suspects shot at a DPS Trooper when the officer tried to stop their vehicle in a routine traffic stop on Highway 281.

After a short chase, the pursuit ended south of Premont on Highway 281. Border Patrol agents detained several individuals--but have not stated if all 15 were arrested.
