Police search for pursuit suspect who shot at police helicopter during pursuit
Police began pursuing a stolen vehicle in Wilmington around 7:15 p.m. Friday, and well after the pursuit ended in South Los Angeles, police continued to search for one of the suspects around 9:30 p.m.
There were four people in the vehicle being pursued, and someone in the vehicle shot at the police helicopter as it followed the chase.
The pursuit began around King and D Streets in Wilmington and continued along the 110 and 91 Freeways in the Harbor Gateway area around 7:30 p.m. At one point the driver was going the wrong way along the 110 Freeway.
The driver exited the freeway, and somewhere near the Manchester Avenue and Figueroa Street intersection, everyone inside the vehicle fled on foot.
The Manchester, Figueroa intersection was closed for well over an hour Friday night as officers searched for one of the three suspects. Three people have been detained.
A large police presence was at the scene.
This story is developing.
