A dramatic police pursuit unfolded on Tuesday afternoon when a hijacked commuter bus led officers on a high-speed chase from downtown Atlanta into neighbouring suburbs. Tragically, one person was fatally shot during the incident.
The chaos began shortly after 4:30 p.m. when Atlanta police responded to reports of gunfire and a possible hostage situation on a Gwinnett County Transit bus near downtown Atlanta. News helicopters captured the bus careening through rush hour traffic and striking several vehicles as it fled.
