AS THE STORY UNFOLDED

The timeline

All times Pacific

9:12 AMOct 27
Possible pursuit: we tracked an LAPD helicopter (N225LA) and an ABC NewsCopter (N828AP) flying 11 km in 4 minutes, the way police aviation flies a pursuit, ending here at 9:08am. No agency has stated what it was. We are reading the flight pattern, not a dispatch.

What we know

Helicopters seen overhead. GTLA AirWatch opened this page automatically from a verified moving aircraft track. The scene moves; the pin is where we last placed it. Nobody has told us what it is: no dispatch record, no station report, and no GTLA editor has reviewed it. We are reporting aircraft movement, not a cause and not a casualty.

Aircraft positions are tracked by GTLA.

Newsroom statements are attributed in the timeline.

Aircraft movement alone does not establish why a helicopter is there. “Coverage ended” describes GTLA tracking, not the outcome of the incident.
