[The poll] flipped, ended up still attached to the line. Then the car ended up, I think, in the back yard of this empty house&#8230;Then I heard police coming up the street, so I&#8217;m figuring it had to have been a chase.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A WHAS11 crew witnessed the red Ford Fusion car be towed away from where it stopped and an LG&amp;E worker came by soon after to check the line on the pole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">LMPD said the incident started with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whas11.com\/article\/news\/crime\/22nd-garland-avenue-police-activity\/417-ff70a389-825e-434d-b8c7-2a0f13a3843d\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:a reported robbery;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;a reported robbery&quot;}\" class=\"link \">a reported robbery<\/a> at 10th Street and West Broadway at around 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A description of the subject&#8217;s vehicle was put out over the radio and our officers located that vehicle a short time later,&#8221; said Major Jospeh Nett with LMPD&#8217;s First Division. &#8220;A vehicle pursuit was initiated. That vehicle came to a final rest at 22nd and Garland. At that time, the subject inside the vehicle barricaded himself, armed with a firearm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Major Nett said the man shot himself, and the man was taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Two eyewitnesses told WHAS11 they saw a baby being rescued. One said the child couldn&#8217;t have been more than one year old. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t tell if it was a boy or girl, but it still had Pampers on and it must&#8217;ve been in a car seat because I watched them come out with a car seat,&#8221; one said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One told WHAS11 they saw officers take the child to the ambulance to be checked on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;From what I could tell, the baby was fine,&#8221; they said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t see anything unusual. It wasn&#8217;t crying, just probably more shocked if anything&#8230;Hopefully the baby is fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">WHAS11 reached out to LMPD about the baby in the car and if the car had been stolen. A spokesperson told us there will not be any new information released at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neighbors near the intersection of 22nd Street and Garland Avenue said they were enjoying the weather, Thursday evening&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,110237],"class_list":["post-272099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-red-car"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
