Pasadena police shot and killed an armed carjacking suspect on the finish of a car pursuit early Saturday.
Officers had been in pursuit of the car round 2:25 a.m. and when the chase ended within the 600 block of North Lake Avenue, police fatally shot the driving force, in line with Pasadena Police Lt. Keith Gomez. No officers had been injured.
Detectives from the Pasadena Police Division’s Theft/Murder Unit responded to the scene.
Video from RMG Information exhibits a person in a white minivan holding a gun and pointing it at his head within the space the place the taking pictures occurred. The man shook his head and rocked forwards and backwards earlier than driving ahead.
Because the minivan inched towards them, officers appeared to say, “Don’t do it,” earlier than opening fireplace.
Requested about whether or not the suspect held a gun to his head, Gomez mentioned officers had been “nonetheless reviewing video and actively inspecting the crime scene.”
“There are a variety of issues that we have to affirm,” Gomez mentioned.
