When the man doesn&#8217;t comply, officers then break the car&#8217;s driveside window, which is when he speeds off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chase ended in Hammond, Indiana, where the man crashed the vehicle near Dearborn and Gostlin streets. Bodycam video shows officers running up to the man who, at that point, had gotten out of the car and was standing in a nearby field. Chicago police and COPA say the man fired shots at officers, which is when the video shows two officers opening fire on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WARNING: Some may find the video graphic.
