LOS ANGELES () — A suspect possibly connected to a shooting is leading police on an erratic chase through Los Angeles County.
AIR7 was over the pursuit just before 4:40 p.m. Thursday as the driver fled in a minivan on the northbound 170 Freeway in North Hollywood.
Los Angeles police say the suspect may be armed and could be connected to a shooting in Echo Park that wounded two people.
The driver is fleeing at moderate speeds while on the freeway but driving slow while on surface streets. A dog appears to be in the front seat of the minivan.
At one point, the driver was boxed in by police in Sun Valley but made a U-turn and maneuvered past a line of police cars.
There have been multiple instances when the driver pulled over and stopped but would then continue to flee.
The chase has gone through the northbound 5 Freeway in Pacoima and is now in the Santa Clarita Valley.
