Police pursued a possible kidnapping suspect in South LA Friday evening and then engaged in a shootout with the suspect at the end of the chase.

Before the shootout, officials told CBS2 and KCAL9 the suspect was armed and dangerous.

He got out of the car at the end of the pursuit after about a half hour defiant and pointing a handgun at authorities.

After he appeared to fire off a round, deputies quickly returned fire at Vermont and 43rd Place.
