Undercover San Diego police detectives saw the gunman pull up in a black car and fire the gunshots, police Lt. Christian Sharp told OnScene TV.As the gunman drove away, officers in marked police vehicles tried to stop the car, but the man kept driving.

A witness told OnScene TV that he and family members were playing croquet on a front lawn in Hillcrest when he heard a loud engine. He turned and saw the car smash into an SUV, careen “out of control,” hit another car, go airborne and then hit the hood of a Jeep. The car then smashed into another parked vehicle and came to a stop.Sharp added, “It looks like was kind of ping-ponging off both sides of the street as he went down at a high rate of speed.
The driver jumped out of the car and ran, but a police helicopter helped officers “close in” on him, Sharp said. He was arrested soon after.
