    Jewelry store robbery in Coral Gables turns into a high speed chase and ends in a 19 vs 2 shootout in the middle of rush hour traffic.

    The incident began after two armed suspects robbed Regent Jewelers in Coral Gables at approximately 4:15 p.m., FBI special agent in charge George Piro told reporters. Shots were fired on the scene. At approximately 4:36 p.m., the suspects hijacked a UPS vehicle, and led police on a high-speed chase through multiple counties, Piro said.

    Helicopter video showed several police cars set off in a high-speed chase after the carjacking. The chase came to an end after the driver of the UPS vehicle was forced to slow down due to traffic.

    At least 19 officers approached the vehicle and opened fire, leaving the vehicle ridden with bullet holes.

    Piro said both suspects were killed in the gunfire, and that two "innocent people" also died during the incident. Authorities previously said that no law enforcement officials were injured.

    UPS told CBS News that one of its employees was killed in the shootout.

    A video of the chase got uploaded to Reddit. I want to say there's at least double that in just cars chasing them.

    Edit: Someone in the comments counted 88 cars following it. Can probably subtract a few for dumb civilians.

    Man, it cannot be standard procedure to open fire willfully on a bunch of suspects when it's clear as day you're risking harm to bystanders.

    I saw more clips and pictures of the incident and holy shit. Cops were using normal civilians as meat shields essentially by hiding behind their cars and made no effort to tell the occupants to leave the vehicle. Florida man clearly applies to the cops too.

    Man my gf told me about that ups driver that was collateral damage, but I didnt know it was related to an earlier jewel robbery. The sad part is it's unlikely the cops will face any punishment cause the robbers were violent and armed, even though god damn I hope that isnt standard operating procedure.

    UPS - speediest service or you can kill our delivery drivers.

    "This was senseless but we appreciate what law enforcement does for us." => "Our driver was killed in the line of duty but thank god no cops were harmed"
