Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department are in pursuit of a driver who may be in possession of a gun.

Sparks shot from the bare rims of the vehicle, its front tires completely gone and glowing red from friction with the pavement. The driver appeared to clutch an object in one hand, possibly a phone or a bottle of water.

The black Toyota Camry suddenly came to a stop as officers drew their guns from a distance. However, the driver did not appear to immediately comply with commands to surrender and throw the keys out of the car.
