UPDATE: A man and woman were in custody today on suspicion of leading California Highway Patrol and LAPD officers on a wild pursuit from Diamond Bar to South Los Angeles in a stolen car, with one of the suspects allegedly shooting at a police dog.

Jose Pedro Salazar, 22, was booked on suspicion of firing at a dog that was under the supervision of a peace officer, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. A passenger in the vehicle -- Leisa Ochoa, 19 -- was booked on suspicion of a stolen vehicle violation.

From earlier this morning:

A man was in custody this morning on suspicion of leading California Highway Patrol and LAPD officers on a wild chase from Diamond Bar to South Los Angeles while at the wheel of a stolen car, then opening fire on a police dog, though without striking the animal.

Authorities did not immediately release the name of the suspect but said he was a 22-year-old man. They said his female passenger escaped.

The chase began on the Pomona (60) Freeway at 6:16 p.m. Monday, when a CHP officer tried to stop the compact sedan because it appeared to have only one occupant in a carpool lane, said CHP Officer Spencer Badal.

"The pursuing officer then checked the license plate of the car and found that the vehicle was reported stolen," added CHP Officer Patrick Kimball.

According to the CHP, the driver headed north on the Orange (57) Freeway, west on the Foothill (210) Freeway, south on the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway to the westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, then onto the Hollywood (101) Freeway through downtown L.A. before exiting in Echo Park, where LAPD officers joined the chase, said Officer Karen Rayner, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman. The chase hit speeds of up to 90 miles per hour on the freeways.

Then, there were several near-collisions as the driver raced along city streets and alleys, running red lights, driving against traffic and nearly colliding with other vehicles. At one point, CHP officers tried to stop the car with the PIT maneuver, but it was unsuccessful. The driver then crashed the car in South Los Angeles about 8:30 p.m., when he and his passenger bolted from the vehicle, running off in opposite directions, Rayner said.

The LAPD responded by flooding the area with officers and conducting a perimeter search in the area of Adams Boulevard and Central Avenue, ultimately tracking down the suspect, who was found by a police dog hiding in a shed, police officials said.

"The suspect fired several rounds at the K-9 that was after him but did not hit the dog," said LAPD Sgt. Rich Hurtado, watch commander at the department's Newton Station. Officers following behind the dog then ordered the man out of his hideout, and he surrendered, Hurtado said.

"He told one of the officers that he dealt with a K-9 once before and didn't want to get bit," Hurtado said.

Rayner said pursuing officers did not return fire at the man. The arrest took place near the intersection of Adams Boulevard and Griffith Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Monday, Rayner said.

"The plan was to turn the driver over the CHP once we had him in custody, but because he fired a shot at the officers, he's ours," Rayner said. "The female passenger managed to escape but we have called off the search for her. We'll get her another day."

Hurtado said the driver would be booked for grand theft auto and other crimes, including firing on the dog.
