VIDEO: Police chase, shoot San Bernardino suspects
A police chase with bullets being exchanged with the San Bernardino suspects is all captured on video on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2015.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) -- With the San Bernardino shooting suspects on the run and police hot on their tail, gunfire erupted in the middle of the pursuit on Wednesday. It was all caught on camera from a resident.



Bystanders were forced to duck for cover as bullets flew nearby as police were in an intense gun battle with 28-year-old Syed Farook and 29-year-old Tashfeen Malik.



The witness' video actually captures moments when the suspects fire at officers from the back of the SUV.



About four hours after the morning carnage, the married couple were killed in the shootout near San Bernardino Avenue and Mountain View, a few miles away from the Inland Regional Center.

At the couple's Redlands home, police found 3,000 rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bomb devices and hundreds of tools that could be used to make improvised explosive devices.
