6 hurt when armed carjacking suspect crashes with kids inside car
A brief police chase ended in a crash that left six people injured and led to two people being detained in Inglewood on Tuesday morning.
According to the Culver City Police Department, officers were attempting to take an armed carjacking suspect into custody in Inglewood when he fled, but not recklessly or at a high speed.
'However, it appears he ran a red light and collided with another vehicle,' Culver City police said, adding that, in addition to the suspect, there was a woman and two children in the vehicle. 'The pursuit only lasted a couple of minutes.'
None of the injuries sustained in the crash were considered to be life-threatening, authorities said.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department told KTLA that firefighters arrived at the scene within four minutes of the crash, which occurred around 10:12 a.m. near the intersection of Centinela and La Brea avenues, and were assessing six patients.
Video from the Citizen App shows that debris was left scattered in the intersection in the aftermath of the crash.
One of the cars involved, a white BMW sedan, sustained damage to its front end. Another involved vehicle, a silver Acura SUV, appeared to have ended up on the sidewalk as a result of the collision, according to the Citizen App footage.
A user captured footage of the two people being detained at gunpoint by police. The same user's footage also showed first responders taking the two injured children from the vehicle and assessing them for injuries.

Dozens possibly detained by federal officials amid immigration raids in Los Angeles
(KTLA) — Federal immigration agents raided several locations in the downtown Los Angeles area on Friday, apparently detaining dozens of people while encountering protesters. At a Home Depot in the Westlake District near downtown Los Angeles, masked officers wearing vests emblazoned with HSI — an acronym for Homeland Security Investigations — were seen taking people into custody. Footage shared to the Citizen app shows what appears to be advocates for migrants trying to confront law enforcement, but their efforts to free those detained were unsuccessful. When Sky5 arrived on the scene just after 10 a.m., HSI agents had already left, but dozens of people remained, including the advocates who had attempted to stop the detentions. Federal agents have targeted other Home Depot stores with similar actions in recent weeks and months. Also on Friday, agents raided two Ambiance Apparel locations in downtown Los Angeles. KTLA's Rich Prickett reported from Sky5 that a couple of dozen people were detained. Agents also engaged in crowd control as a large crowd of demonstrators gathered at one Ambiance location, 930 Towne Ave. in downtown L.A.'s Fashion District. At least one protester fell to the ground as he attempted to stop a law enforcement SUV from leaving the location. In a statement, a spokesperson for the law enforcement agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is in the Department of Homeland Security, declined to 'confirm or discuss the existence or status of operations.' 'The agency publicly announces the results of operations when appropriate. As part of its routine operations, ICE arrests aliens who commit crimes and other individuals who have violated our nation's immigration laws,' the statement said. 'All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States, regardless of nationality.' In a statement, the FBI confirmed to KTLA that it is participating in the HSI raids, not just in Los Angeles but nationwide, 'as directed by the Attorney General.' 'As we have been asked to do, we are sending Agents to participate in these immigration enforcement efforts,' the statement said. 'That includes assisting in cities where major operations are already underway and where we have special agents embedded on operational teams with DHS. Our help may vary depending on what DHS needs, such as SWAT operators, who can support high risk arrest operations, and other resources such as intelligence analysts and technical support working from command posts.' In a statement, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell noted that the department is not involved in 'civil immigration enforcement.' 'We will not assist or participate in any sort of mass deportations, nor will the LAPD try to determine an individual's immigration status … I want everyone, including our immigrant community, to feel safe calling the police in their time of need and know that the LAPD will be there for you without regard to one's immigration status,' he said. Some critics of the LAPD, however, stipulated that police indeed helped with the raids. Though officers may not have been personally handcuffing and detaining people, they set up a perimeter to allow the operation at the Ambiance factory at 2415 E. 15th St. to continue, said left-leaning social media account People's City Council – Los Angeles. 'ANOTHER clear example of the LAPD & the City of Los Angeles collaborating with ICE & proving that the 'Sanctuary City' was always bulls—!' they wrote. '[Mayor Karen Bass'] silence is support of this.' Bass declined to comment on the raids when asked by KTLA. Nidia Becerra and Marc Sternfield contributed to this report.

Teen dies after being pinned between two cars in school parking lot, CA cops say
A 15-year-old boy died after he was pinned between two cars in the parking lot of his California private school, police say. The boy was walking in the parking lot of Campbell Hall School in the neighborhood of Studio City just after 3 p.m. Wednesday, June 4, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said in an email to McClatchy News. He walked between two cars waiting in the carpool line, school officials and Los Angeles police Lt. Matthew Bielski told KABC. As he made his way toward his father's car, a Rivian SUV struck him, pinning him between the two cars, police told KNBC. 'The vehicle that the student walked in between moved forward,' Bielski said at a news conference, KNBC reported. It's unclear why the SUV moved, Bielski reportedly said. The collision left the boy 'gravely injured,' a police spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said, according to the newspaper. The collision also injured two more minors and three adults, who all had non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. 'This is a very tragic situation,' LAFD Capt. Adam Vangerpen told KCAL. 'This is hard on all the witnesses who witnessed this. There's a lot of kids getting out of school and getting ready for summer.' L.A. County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, who represents the neighborhood, said her 'heart is with the entire Campbell Hall community during this tragic time,' in a statement shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. Campbell Hall School did not immediately respond to McClatchy News' request for comment June 5. In an email to parents obtained by KTLA, Head of School Rev. Canon Julian P. Bull said the crash left him and other school officials 'heartbroken.' 'Our collective hearts and thoughts are with the family,' he said in his email, according to KTLA. 'I know that the Campbell Hall community will be there for all of them in the challenging days and weeks ahead.' An investigation into the collision is ongoing, police said.
