Police Chase Armed Suspect in North Hollywood Neighborhood

Los Angeles Police Department officers set up a perimeter in a North Hollywood neighborhood early this morning in search of armed suspects fleeing on foot.

The chase began at 3:24 a.m., when an officer observed a man with a gun near Chandler Boulevard and Colfax Avenue, said LAPD Officer Matthew Ludwig. Seeing the officer, the man jumped into a car with three other people and fled the scene, he said.

A short pursuit followed that ended in a crash.

“Two people stayed in the car, and two fled on foot,” said Ludwig. “A perimeter was set up for the two outstanding suspects, and K9 responded.”

The suspects were found and brought into custody for questioning, added Ludwig.
