8:53 THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE NATURE OF IT WHEN THEY STARTED CHASING THIS CAR.

8:57 THEY JUST KNEW THAT THERE WAS AN ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.

9:00 THIS WAS THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION THAT THE VICTIM HAD GIVEN.

9:04 WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE ASSAULT?

9:06 WE'RE STILL WORKING THAT OUT, BUT WHATEVER IT WAS THE VICTIM WAS ABLE

9:08 TO TELL POLICE THAT THE PEOPLE INSIDE HAD THREE HANDGUNS.

9:12 SO AT SOME POINT WAS THE VICTIM ALLEGED.

9:15 AS WE SEE THE PERSON ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE GETTING OUT NOW.

9:18 I'LL WALK BACK TOWARDS THE OFFICERS,

9:19 BUT WHAT THE NATURE OF THE WE'RE STILL WORKING

9:21 ON THAT, BUT THE VICTIM HAD TOLD POLICE THAT THEY HAD THREE OKAY,

9:25 WELL, THEY HAVE ONE PERSON.

9:26 IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST IN CUSTODY.

9:31 OH, AND THERE ARE THOSE HANDS ON THE RIGHT ON THE RIGHT.

9:34 THEN THEY PUT IT BACK IN THE CAR.

9:49 SO IF THERE WERE FOUR PEOPLE IN UNFORTUNATELY A BUILDING BLOCK AND WE'RE DEALING

9:52 WITH CLOUDS AND TALL BUILDINGS AND ALL OF TELL IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY FOUR.

9:57 WE HAD HEARD FOR, BUT WE KNOW ONE THAT RAN IS IN CUSTODY.

10:01 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY SOON TOO AND A REALLY

10:04 PRECARIOUS SITUATION WITH ALL THOSE HANDGUNS ALLEGEDLY INSIDE

10:07 THAT CAR AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO KEEP TRACK OF.

10:09 NOW IS IT POLICY ALSO THAT THEY WANT THEM TO GET OUT.

10:13 ONE AT A TIME.

10:14 YES.

10:14 YEAH.

10:14 OKAY.

10:14 THEY'LL CALL THEM OUT ONE AT A TIME.

10:15 THEY DON'T WANT TO BE DEALING WITH YOU KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE BECAUSE

10:18 IF ONE BOLTS AND ONE RUNS OR YOU KNOW WHAT HAVE YOU?

10:20 SO YEAH, THEY DO WANT ONE TO COME OUT AT A TIME.

10:23 AND YOU SAW ESPECIALLY YOU HAVE MULTIPLE SUSPECTS.

10:24 LOOK HOW FAR AWAY.

10:25 THEY MADE THAT GUY WALK BECAUSE THEY DON'T

10:28 WANT HIM TO HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE OTHER

10:30 PERSON IN THE CAR OR BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY RUN BACK TO THE CAR.

10:32 YOU KNOW WHAT OKAY.

10:33 SO WE'RE GOING TO GET ALL FOUR.

10:34 I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS THREE PEOPLE LEFT IN THE CAR.

10:37 SO ONLY THE DRIVER RAN.

10:38 AND WE BELIEVE THAT THAT PERSON IS IN CUSTODY.

10:40 SO THEY WILL GET ALL FOUR OF THESE SUSPECTS.

10:42 THAT IS SO.

10:43 WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAID THAT YOU SAW

10:45 THE NUMBER SEVEN ON ONE OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES.

10:48 SO THAT'S A GANG UNIT.

10:49 THAT'S FROM WILSHIRE DIVISION.

10:49 YEAH, I GOT A SLICK TOP.

10:50 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GANG OFFICERS GONNA MAKE SENSE.

10:53 THEN IF YOU HAVE FOUR PEOPLE IN A VEHICLE

10:56 RIGHT EVADING POLICE AND HAVING WEAPONS INSIDE.

10:57 YEAH, MAKES SENSE AND WE WERE.

10:59 I MEAN FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF THIS IN DOWNTOWN.

11:01 THEY WERE WAY ON ONE WAY STREETS.

11:03 I MEAN REALLY PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK HERE.

11:05 AND YOU KNOW THE LAPD HELICOPTER WAS DOING THEIR BEST TO KEEP UP.

11:08 BUT JUST LIKE US.

11:09 WE WERE DEALING WITH CLOUDS AND TALL BUILDINGS.

11:10 AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THEIR.

11:11 YOU KNOW THOUGHT PROCESS HERE.

11:13 LET'S GO.

11:14 GET LOST IN DOWNTOWN AND SEE IF THAT WORKS.

11:15 BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE COMMANDERS THAT WERE CALLING THIS CHASE WERE

11:18 ADAMANT ABOUT STAYING IN IT AND NOT GOING INTO TRACKING MODE THAT ALLOWED

11:23 THE OFFICERS TO BE RIGHT BEHIND THEM AND RIGHT ON THEIR TAIL AT EVERY

11:27 TURN SO WHEN THEY COME AND GET ALL THESE GUYS ON THE GROUND.

11:28 THEY'RE GOING TO SEARCH THEM IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THEY FIND THE GUNS

11:32 ON THEM RIGHT NOW OR IN THE CAR OR IF THEY MIGHT HAVE DITCHED THE FIREARMS.

11:36 THEY ALLEGEDLY HAD AND THERE WAS TALK ON THE FREEWAY

11:39 OF THEM THROWING THINGS OUT OF THE CAR.

11:41 SO VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE WEAPONS.

11:43 IF IF THAT WERE THE CASE.

11:45 SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE OFFICERS ARE ABLE TO GO BACK AND RETRIEVE

11:47 IT SOUNDS LIKE I WAS ON THE FENCE WHEN THEY WERE HEADED EASTBOUND.

11:49 THEY HAD AN AIRSHIP OVERHEAD.

11:50 RIGHT.

11:51 THEY DID THE AIRSHIP.

11:51 YEAH.

11:52 THE AIRSHIP WAS THE ONE THAT CALLED OUT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TOSSED

11:54 AN ARTICLE AS WHAT THEY CALL IT WHEN THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS,

11:57 BUT LOOK AT THE REALLY BIG CONTINGENT

11:58 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT YOU'VE GOT DOWN THERE.

12:01 NOW TRYING TO GET ALL OF THIS HANDLED AND CLEANED

12:03 UP AND THE BYSTANDERS WHO WERE JUST DOWN THERE ENJOYING

12:08 THEIR FRIDAY NIGHT AND DOWNTOWN AS ALL OF THESE POLICE

12:10 CARS CAME SCREAMING IN AND PEOPLE NOW ON THE GROUND.

12:12 IT MUST BE QUITE A SIGHT FROM THE GROUND THERE.

12:14 YEAH, AND KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU SO NERVOUS TOO MAN.

12:16 IT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT.

12:17 WE SAW PEDESTRIANS.

12:18 THESE GUYS ARE DRIVING.

12:22 GOD KNOWS WHAT THANKFULLY THEY REALIZED L.A.P.D

12:24 WAS GOING TO GIVE UP AS THE OFFICERS.

12:25 COME IN TO CLEAR THE CAR HERE AND JUST DECIDED TO DITCH IT.

12:28 I MEAN, YOU KNOW IT ROLLED UP AGAINST THE POLE LITTLE BIT.

12:31 THERE WASN'T ANY HEAVY DAMAGE.

12:32 SO REALLY WITH THE THE BEST IT COULD YOU WENT DID THEY RUN OUT OF GAS?

12:38 OR DID THEY NOT NAVIGATE AS THEY SHOULD HAVE.

12:39 AND YOU KNOW.

12:40 THAT'S WHAT I WONDER.

12:42 EXCUSE ME.

12:43 I THINK TOWARDS TOWARDS THE END OF IT.

12:45 YOU COULD KIND OF SEE THEM LIKE NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT THEY WANTED

12:47 TO DO LIKE WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO INTERSECTIONS THEIR TURNS WERE NOT DECISIVE.

12:51 THEY WOULD PASS.

12:51 THEY WOULD KIND OF YOU KNOW SIT THERE FOR LIKE

12:54 A MILLISECOND AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.

12:57 AND THAT HOLLYWOOD UNIT WAS JUST ON HIS BUMPER THE WHOLE TIME.

12:59 SO I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE EVENTUALLY.

13:01 THEY JUST REALIZE THAT YOU KNOW.

13:04 NO MATTER HOW FAST.
