New video shows what led to police chase and shootout after carjacking in Cleveland

Описание: A carjacking suspect who allegedly opened fire at police was shot during an exchange of gunfire Tuesday night, according to Cleveland Division of Police Chief Dorothy Todd.

She said it was just before 9 p.m. when police were notified of a series of carjackings that had occurred in the area of the 4200 block of West 150th Street.

Todd said the suspect was involved in four actual carjackings and one attempted. Another one took place in the 6500 block of Quimby Road at around 9:20 p.m.

“He did carjack several people and just kept dropping the vehicle, carjacking and continuing on," Todd explained during a press conference Wednesday morning.

Cleveland police reached out for assistance from the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department amid a pursuit of the suspect. Todd said spike strips were deployed and effective, but the chase continued for approximately 15-20 minutes before coming to an end on South Moreland Boulevard.
