Hopefully there wasn't a kid or somebody that got car jacked in there too though.

Did they shoot the driver or the tires?!?
Indeed.

Why did they shoot? The situation was under control?

10-20 bullets went into the drivers side breaking the driver's side window as well, so.......

Judging by the glass falling from the windows and the bullet holes in the front windscreen it was the driver.

it wasnt, he was trying to drive around them. They gave him ample time to give up.
OH Wow he's alive.

He turned the car around and started driving right at the cops. Can't blame them if they did shoot. Also props to KTLA for being the only one of the 3 not requiring Flash.

No. He was cornered and started driving toward the officers.

He was driving toward them. In USA that is considered assault on a officer with a deadly weapon. He had every chance to stop.

Yup. Sadly, I fully expected this one to end the same way. Any chance to shoot it seems.
Edit: They were warning shots or missed? That's better news.

He was armed with 4,000 pounds of steel and driving it towards the cops. What else are they supposed to do? It also doesnt look like they killed him.
Driver gave up, got out (lucky to be alive). Passenger still in stand off? it seems.
Edit: Opposite.
A vehicle can be used as a weapon, too, you know. Especially when you drive it through neighbourhoods at high speeds. I'd say taking a shot and stopping the chase at all costs when you get the chance is preferable over him hitting another car or a pedestrian or something.

You've picked a stupid instance to say that.
Not yet it wasn't. Driver was cornered and attempting to go off-road around police blockade. Expected tires shot or another car to try to block that attempt instead of unloading shots. Still, guy was reckless, and in minutes the country would be out in public taking kids to school and leaving for work, this guy was rampaging through that with a dangerous weapon(his car).

I think the driver got shot and the passenger got out
yup. The paramedics doesn't seem to be in a hurry
