LONG BEACH (CNS) – Authorities today chased a car that was reported
stolen in Long Beach, shot to death one of the two people inside and arrested
the other one in an incident that mostly unfolded on live TV.
The chase began about 6:10 a.m. and went over surface streets and then
onto the Long Beach (710) Freeway, the Artesia (91) Freeway, the Glenn Anderson
(105) Freeway, and the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway.
The motorist ran red lights and sped around cars, nearly overturning at
one point. Eventually, the chase led to the city of Bellflower, where the car
went into a business parking lot at Foster Road and Bellflower Boulevard and
was boxed in by police about 6:40 a.m.
At that point, shots were fired by law enforcement officers, and the
passenger got out and surrendered. A short time later, officers pulled the
injured driver from the car and began administering CPR. The person was
pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County Fire
Department.
