Marcos, Hydar said. Deputies tried to pull the stolen car over, but the driver did not stop, resulting in a vehicle pursuit through the cities of Vista, Carlsbad and Encinitas, Hydar said. Sheriff s ASTREA Helicopter assisted in locating and following the stolen car from the air, enabling the patrol units to stop pursuing.
The helicopter provided updates on the stolen car s location as the ground units followed, the sergeant said.
The driver exited southbound Interstate 5 at Encinitas Boulevard and collided with an MTS bus, Hyder said. No one on the bus was injured.
The driver then fled the stolen car and was apprehended by deputies, authorities said.
The victim underwent emergency surgery for his wound. Authorities did not release his condition, other than to say he was stable.
The shooting suspect, who was only identified as a 64-year-old man, barricaded himself inside the home. Deputies made loudspeaker announcements for the man to surrender, but he refused to comply.
Due to his unwillingness to cooperate, the Sheriff s Crisis Negotiations Teams (CNT) and Special Enforcement Detail (SED) assisted in the response. CNT successfully made contact with the man and were in communication with him for hours in an effort to get him to surrender.
Authorities were in contact with the man into the following day.
The driver of the Toyota, a 54-year-old Steve Pirolli, was killed in the crash.
His 14-year-old son who was a passenger in the car was taken to Rady Children s Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to deputies.
“It’s hard to know that they re not going to be around anymore,” said Tom Pirolli, Steve’s older brother. He says Steve and his son were inseparable.
“They were just incredibly close. they went everywhere together, they did everything together. they would come over pretty frequently and I would almost never see one without the other,” he added.
A spokesperson for the Poway Unified School District told NBC 7 the teenager was a student at their district.
