[h1]Suspect leads police on low-speed pursuit in a Bentley, shoots self during standoff[/h1]

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.

So is he still alive right now? Man this is one of the most confusing story right now.

First it was Chris Brown

Then it was DJ Khaled

Then the dude killed himself...

Edit:
Man that guy did shoot himself in the head and survived, so I think that's the reason why the SWAT or police in the armored trucks were rushing to his carduring the cut-off moment on the news-feed. I'm really surprised that he's still alive, although he's in grave condition.
 
are u kidding me? i wake up and find out it was some bin laden %*@ @%!*! that lead them on the chase? SMFH
 
he should have went at it with the cops.

rip though, supposedly hes with terror squad.
