The chase began this morning, after the suspect allegedly made criminal threats against someone and took off in a red Nissan Altima. As he raced down several LA highways—the 101, 110, 10 and the 5—he reportedly topped 100 mph.
At one point during the pursuit, the driver held what appeared to be an assault rifle outside the window of his car.
At about 11:30 a.m., he exited the vehicle with the apparent rifle and began to walk through a residential neighborhood in the North Hollywood area.
A few minutes later, the man was on the roof of a home in North Hollywood(map), near Oakwood School's secondary campus, close to where three pedestrian students were injured, one critically, in a collision on Wednesday.
UPDATE 6:08 pm: The suspect surrendered to police and was arrested.
