Pursuit of Silver Corvette Comes to Violent End in Downtown L.A.
Shots were fired, driver is DOS.
Crash occurs at 20:36
Shots fired at 21:12
A police pursuit of a man driving a silver Corvette came to violent end Friday night in Downtown Los Angeles.
The chase began with East L.A. sheriff's deputies around 9 p.m. near Firestone Boulevard in South Gate.
The man, who at times was driving without his headlights on, was being pursued for reckless driving and possible DUI, according to sheriff's officials.
At one point, deputies backed off the Corvette and allowed the department's airship to follow the car through Cudahy, Huntington Park, South Gate and Walnut Park.

Chevrolet Police might have fatally shot a car-chase suspect over the weekend after at least one cop mistook a fellow officer's actions for unfriendly gunfire.
That, at least, appears to be what Fox 11 News was reporting last night.
Citing an unnamed police official, the station offered one possible explanation for why 51-year-old Brian Beaird of Oceanside was hit with gunfire on live television (video on the next page), even though it was clear he wasn't armed or charging at authorities at the end of a wild chase. In fact ...
... live video shot by KTLA News' helicopter shows the suspect exiting his car and briefly raising his hands before grabbing his gut and falling down, his back to the cops who had pursued him.
Why? That was the question for many folks watching. Yes, the suspect had acted recklessly, but how did he end up dead?
Fox 11 News says an officer who opened fire did so because a less-than-lethal beanbag round shot by a fellow cop might have been mistaken for gunfire from the suspect.
Beaird, described in reports as a disabled veteran who served in the National Guard for eight years, died at a nearby hospital about 43 minutes after the chase ended, according to City News Service.
News footage shows a "DP" plate, for disabled person, on the Corvette he was driving.
