US police fire over 90 bullets, kill teenager
Abdul Arian was killed on the 101 Freeway in Woodland Hills on Wednesday night, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Police said they noticed Arian driving erratically near the Northridge Fashion Center and tried to pull him over. But he refused and instead took them on a high-speed pursuit through city streets before pulling onto Ventura Freeway.
Eight Los Angeles police officers fired more than 90 rounds, killing the 19-year-old teenager.
His uncle Hamed Arian said the Arian family came to the United States from Afghanistan about 20 years ago.
"We are all devastated," the uncle said. "We lost a young man who was a really good kid."
Police said Arian called 911 during the chase and claimed to have a gun and made threats to the police. But, he did not have a gun.
However, Hamed Arian said his nephew made a 911 call in which he said he was afraid because he was being pursued by the police.
