It always amazes me just how fast a news item like this can "go viral" on You Tube within minutes of it being posted.

Here are some of the horrific details:

A man is dead after he was suspected of kidnapping a 3-year-old child...possibly his own child....in Montebello this afternoon. His name has not been officially released....

....suspect leads law enforcement on one of those "vintage" high speed pursuits all over LA this afternoon....

Chase ends in front of the male suspect's apartment "possible" residence near Greenwood Avenue and Oakwood Street...

Everyone from the apartment complex is alerted about the "chase" in advance.  Instead of ducking for cover...neighbors grab their handy cams and video devices....and soon become witnesses to the death of a man they may or may not know....

Video of shooting is uploaded to You Tube, and tonight an investigation is underway.

LOVE YOU and LOVE YOUR BLOG! I live in Montebello and found this tonight from the Associated Press.
03-28) 20:59 PDT MONTEBELLO, Calif. (AP) --
Authorities say a man suspected of kidnapping a 3-year-old girl led officers on a nearly hour-long pursuit before he was shot and killed by police in Montebello. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the child's mother called 911 Monday to report that her boyfriend, who was armed with a handgun, had been drinking and took off in his car with their 3-year-old daughter after the couple had gotten into an argument.

Authorities say officers quickly spotted the man's vehicle but he refused to pull over.

After a nearly hour-long pursuit, sheriff's Lt. Dave Coleman says the man got out of his car with his gun drawn and fired one shot and police returned fire.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The child was not hurt.

This guy had it coming and deserved what was issued to him at the time of the incident. There is no other way to explain it, other than he had ample time to surrender and do the right thing. Just another show-off punk, from East La Bikers that wanted to make a name for himself. I know a few and all they do is run drugs, steal bikes, try to intimidate others and use women.
