This stolen minivan pursuit started around 10:50am in Ventura County. We tracked it down the 101 and 405, through Orange County, and into San Diego County before handing it off to the SD helicopter. It kept going! Authorities confirmed it crossed the Mexican border around 1pm.

Wait for it, wait for it… WE SEE YOU! 💙

A snippet of yesterday's coverage while police swarmed LA Academy Middle School. The LAUSD campus was placed on lockdown after a student reported seeing a teen with a gun, triggering an "active shooter" call. We now know there was no shooting, no weapon found, and no victim.

Dark and early at home base. Caught the waning gibbous in a perfectly clear sky at the start of today’s AM shift.

Multiple agencies involved in this one. @OCSheriff AND @CHPsouthern sent helicopters to track this pursuit after it took off near Santa Ana. Suspect drove through OC on the 57 North and eventually surrendered off the 60 West in South El Monte. Driver and passenger arrested.

Don’t cry over spilled beer — unless it snarls your morning commute. Welcome update from @CHPsouthern 7+ hours after a big rig crash spilled thousands of beer cans + kegs across westbound lanes of the 210 in Azusa. All freeway lanes are now open at Vernon Ave. Cheers to that!

Hang it next to your scanners! Thanks to the awesome folks at @easycanvas for the extra prints.

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve interrupted our midday newscast with car chases. Relieved this one ended safely after @LAPDHQ officers disabled the pursuit vehicle with a PIT maneuver.

BREAKING: Police have taken into custody the man they believe is responsible for shooting and killing Charlie Kirk. A family member saw the photos of the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk and turned him into police, two senior law enforcement officials say.

LA business leaders advocated aggressively for CARE Court during my stint at the business federation. Here’s a breakdown of how the program is working. Despite the fact that it has the most petitions for care, LA County has seen no CARE Court graduations.

Doors remain open at King Taco in East LA after a collision involving an SUV and train that took down the restaurant marquee. One person was taken to a hospital with injuries. Business persists amid clean-up and construction. Taco Tuesday > Freak Accident Friday. 🌮

Monday morning traffic nightmare (daymare?) north of the 5/405 split. @LAFD worked quickly to stop a blaze that spread from a trailer crash to nearby vegetation. Were you stuck in the epic jam? Grateful we were only covering freeway backups and not another raging brush fire.

I was doing pursuit drills with our newest trainee MINUTES before this chase started. She got to witness every scenario we practiced troubleshooting… happening live. No IFB, signal blackouts, out-of-range radios. Big thanks to our @NBCLA ops wizards for keeping up with it all.

Who’s in #SkyCal tonight? Spotted you guys over the beach!

Where there's fire, there's often toxic smoke. We hovered above the #CanyonFire and watched brown haze blanketing the area. Diminished air quality will hurt people far beyond the burn zone. Pulmonologists say inhaling wildfire smoke is comparable to smoking numerous cigarettes.

A Tsunami Advisory has been issued, replacing the Tsunami Watch. The tsunami should arrive near 1AM tonight. If you are located in the coastal area, move off the beach & out of harbors & marinas. Do not go to the coast to watch. Be alert to instructions from local EM officials.

A TSUNAMI WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT for coastal San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties. An earthquake 8.7 80 miles southeast of Petropavlovsk Kamchatka, Russia. Stay tuned for updates. https://t.co/t3G7WiWiRU

We see pursuits almost every day. But you have to wonder what tourists were thinking when this high-speed chase came to an end steps from the Santa Monica Pier. Think they’ll come back to LA?

Tight + wide shots from the helicopter help illustrate the magnitude of this explosion. Firefighters felt it down the road. Window glass in a patrol vehicle shattered to crumbs. This marks @LASDHQ’s largest loss of life since 1857. My heart goes out to the victims’ loved ones.
