Suspect leads police on low-speed pursuit in a Bentley, shoots self during standoff

A businessman of Pakistani origin who led police on a more than three-hour chase in a luxury Bentley sedan shot himself early today after more than a dozen police cruisers surrounded his halted vehicle near Universal City, a source close to the Los Angeles Police Department said.

He was taken to a local hospital, where his condition was considered grave, according to LAPD sources.

"It appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot," said the source, who described the suspect as distraught over the loss of his business.

The shooting occurred at 12:41 a.m., about an hour and a half after the suspect had stopped near the scene of an alleged assault with a deadly weapon against his girlfriend in the 4000 block of Lankershim Boulevard.

Police suspected the man was armed and had been "very, very careful" not to confront him during the pursuit that traversed Los Angeles County along the Hollywood Freeway and Interstates 5, 10 and 405, said Officer Karen Smith of the media relations office.

No one at the LAPD dispatch center could confirm the shooting, said Officer Ray Rodriguez, saying that the police officers involved were still at the scene and hadn't reported in to headquarters.

The Illinois-registered white sedan, worth more than $100,000, traversed the city's busiest freeways at or below the speed limit from the time the driver left North Hollywood at 7:55 p.m. until the vehicle stopped at 11:15 p.m. and the long standoff ensued.

A woman holding up her left hand in a gesture apparently intended to signal that no harm was intended had approached the car as soon as it stopped and attempted to open the passenger door but it was locked and she retreated to the safety of the police cars and officers with guns drawn on the suspect.

The Bentley driver popped open the trunk in the first few seconds after stopping, but whether that was an accident or intended to provide a shield across the back window was unknown.

The driver, wearing a close-cropped beard and sunglasses, could be seen on some of the live TV coverage sitting in the front seat of the car for nearly 90 minutes after stopping.

It was at least the fifth police pursuit of a fleeing driver in Los Angeles in the last two weeks.

This shit was boring. Fell asleep at 11:30 watching this. There was a better one earlier with a red Eclipse. He actually got away from the CHP but couldn't shake the news copter. Thats when Burbank PD caught up with him. He was flying like crazy on the local streets. In the end he crashed into a parked vehicle and got tasered.

No, it has been confirmed he owns that company.

He shot himself last night and now he's dead.

Hip-hop star DJ KHALED has denied reports he was shot and killed after a four-hour police chase in Los Angeles on Monday (09Feb09).Internet rumours claimed a man resembling the Miami, Florida native - a member of Fat Joe's Terror Squad - had led cops on a race on the Hollywood Freeway late on Monday night.
The driver of the Bentley at the centre of the incident, who was wanted by police for reportedly assaulting his girlfriend with a deadly weapon, suffered a fatal gunshot wound after police stormed the vehicle.
But DJ Khaled has blasted reports he was involved in the chase, calling into Los Angeles radio station Power 106 on Tuesday (10Feb09) to insist he was alive and well and "making hits in Miami"

He takin ovah.
