Heard a helicopter and sirens approaching my house from the west.  Looked out the front door and saw the police helicopter pass overhead and heard sirens pass on the freeway.  Turned on Channel 9 news and low and behold, a police pursuit that had started about 8:00 pm.  As I type this, it is now 10:44 pm and the car continues to run.  He is back out in the valley heading N/B on the 5 frwy.

The news is stating that the suspect is a 3rd striker and his passenger has been on her cell phone with relatives and the police.  The suspect says he isn't going to stop.  Famous last words. 

N/B 5 approaching the 210 frwy.  Just watched the CHP change pursuing units with three new units that were sitting on an on ramp waiting for the pursuit to pass. 

Still N/B on the 5.  Maybe he's heading for Magic Mountain!!!

The pursuit has passed three hours, averaging 75 mph.  The car has traveled over 200 miles!!! 

The CHP helicopter has turned around and Channel 9 is stopping as well.  So I guess we won't see the end of it.  I'll have to catch the news in the morning.
