Southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the border of Orange and San Diego counties reopened Saturday afternoon after being closed for much of the day after a police pursuit that began in Buena Park ended in gunfire in Oceanside, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Both sides of the I-5 were closed at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday after police shot a suspect. Law enforcement officials did not identify the person who was shot, their condition or whether they were the driver of the car that was being pursued. No officers were injured. <\/p>\n

Several lanes on the northbound I-5 were reopened at around 9:30 a.m. The southbound lanes reopened Saturday afternoon near Cristianitos Road in San Clemete, according to a CHP spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Buena Park Police Department\u2019s Sgt. Martin Tomsick told City News Service<\/a> that officers attempted to pull over a motorist around 12:45 a.m. Sunday, but the driver took off, leading officers on a lengthy pursuit.<\/p>\n

Officers handed off the pursuit to CHP, but kept their K-9 unit involved in the chase, Tomsick said.<\/p>\n

Tomsick said the pursuit ended in gunfire on southbound I-5 in the Camp Pendleton area, with both a Buena Park Police Department K-9 officer and at least one CHP officer firing their weapons at a suspect.<\/p>\n

A CHP spokesperson said the agency did not have details to release about the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the border of Orange and San Diego counties reopened Saturday afternoon after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9907,6577,39348,7,9,8,7338,4247,15785,287,20694,734,39347,2322,7656,4248,135,39346],"class_list":["post-65941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-a-m-saturday","tag-authority","tag-buena-park-police-department","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-camp-pendleton","tag-car-chase","tag-chp-spokesperson","tag-driver","tag-gunfire","tag-law-enforcement","tag-martin-tomsick","tag-officer","tag-person","tag-police-pursuit","tag-shooting","tag-southbound-i-5-lane"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65941","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=65941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
