LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- New bodycamera video shows a closeup view of a police chase and officer-involved shooting that happened in Los Angeles last month.

On Sept. 29, Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a report of shots being fired in South Los Angeles.

They located a suspect and say he fired at them then fled the scene, first on foot and then jumping into a nearby car. Officers fired back and then launched a chase.

The pursuit lasted about seven minutes before the suspect crashed and was taken into custody a short time later.
