The suspect was driving a large SUV.

We talked to a neighbor nearby who was shocked to see police cars rushing into the neighborhood.

"I've never seen three cars going that speed in such a tight confined area. We have some minor property damage, but it guess it's to be expected. They've done a fantastic job. I was surprised how well they had to handle those vehicles. I'm impressed," said Bill Pituilak who lives nearby.
