Celebrity(?) Car Chase
As we type, a white Bentley, possibly w/ an "armed & dangerous" suspect at the wheel, is sitting in the middle of a street in Universal City, w/ the California Highway Patrol officers who've been led on a merry chase for some three hrs. standing around w/ pistols & shotguns drawn looking at the Bentley.
The subtext is that it may be a despondent "high-profile" person in the Bentley. If we don't get bored & watch something that moves, we may up-date you. (After a three hour chase, we figure they may not be much petrol left in the Bentley.)
This is the second televised car chase of the evening, the other one occurring during the dinner-time news. No weapons involved in that one other than the automobile, which ended up clipping a car while running through an intersection & rear-ending a parked pick-up truck.

Looks like the guy may have off'ed himself. At about 1:10am (local) the police surrounded the car and broke the windows to gain access. Seems like whatever happened already happened. The guy was left in the car (no movement) until the ambulance came and loaded him up and took him away. No immediate presence of police and no escort when the ambulance left the scene. No urgency at all after the windows were broken. No police shots fire or any force other than windows at all. Too bad it had to end up like this. The cops did show a lot of patience and didn't seem to rush anything.
