Going on over 20 minutes now. Getting into downtown. Idiot.

Edit: Idiot is referring to him, not you.

He wrecked. Olympic and Maple.

I think they shot him when he hopped out. He's down and not moving.

Pretty much. I'm sure it was probably stolen. He certainly wasn't driving it like he was familiar with it at all.

I was watching the news...they broke in with it. I did a double take...is that a corvette? Yep. It's is. Being chased through DTLA.

News chopper backed off pretty quick with the picture after he got out. Not sure if he was shot or not.

My contribution...







It's all over. He T-boned someone pretty hard, running through an intersection. Hopefully, they're ok.

After he wrecked, he was still trying to et the car to move. Reversed and then forward...looked like he rammed an LAPD car.

I'm sure it was stolen.

Running from the Law seems to be popular in L.A.

Dude, might be reckless, running from the cops, but at least he was using his turn signal...

He's dead. LAPD still isn't saying what they shot him with.

I'd have to say odds favor a 12 ga considering how fast he stopped flopping around.

Yeah you can. The reason he crashed was because he wore out the brakes before he got to that intersection... And I'm still wondering why he bothered to black out his lights if he was going to ride the brakes all the way

An interesting question, that.

One could look at the video and make the argument that he appeared unarmed and had his back to them when they shot him.

But the video was shot from a considerable distance, from an aircraft, at night, with no audio on the situation.

So...

Here's a comment from a reader at the LA Times site:

Wow! They should have let a dog loose on him or used non lethal force on him since he didn't get down immediately. But shooting a firearm at him? We just witnessed murder.
According to the site, the bad guy was taken to the hospital - no mention he was deceased.
