Dramatic Foot Chase of Suspect Caught on Camera | Whittier

1.11.2021 | 10:04 PM | WHITTIER – An armed man ran from police right by our cameraman before stumbling over and being tazed by police in a dramatic foot pursuit caught on camera Monday night (0:34 in video).

Police responded to the area regarding shots fired shortly after 10 PM.
The call was regarding a man who allegedly shot at his mom before fleeing into an apartment complex.

Officers established a containment around the complex searching for the armed son who was hiding from officers.

Paramedics were cleared to enter the area and treated the female who was shot at across the street from the active situation. Her injuries are unknown, but it appears she wasn’t struck by gunfire.

As paramedics loaded the female into the ambulance, the suspect suddenly bolted from a hiding spot near a parked car and started running northbound Bright Avenue right toward our cameraman.

The man continued northbound with officers in foot pursuit and orders being yelled for him to stop.

The suspect crossed Mar Vista Street onto the northeast corner, where he kept stumbling as he tried to continue to flee from officers on foot.

When the suspect tried to get up after officers caught up with him, they utilized less than lethal force (a taser) to subdue the male.

The gunman was taken into custody and a handgun was recovered (visible at 3:35 in video).

Officers cleared the suspect’s apartment to ensure no other victims or suspects were inside. None were located.
