Did the cops have to let the van get into heavy traffic? I don’t know how long the chase took, or if there was any way to get ahead of it.
I don’t know if the cops were taking cover behind a private vehicle moving next to the UPS van, or if that was an unmarked police car.
It’s too early to blame anyone but the robbers, but there are real questions here, about police procedures.
And the woman in the jewelry store. Whose bullet hit her, robber’s, or owner’s?

The truck had just made a u-turn at a roadblock.
The police should not have approached the truck in that situation.
My guess is there was no single person in charge who could have told them to back off and wait for the right time. This was a long pursuit and five police departments were involved.
