A suspect was taken into custody after a transit bus led police on a high-speed chase in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday, June 11, local media reported, citing police.

According to the report, the pursuit started when Atlanta police responded to a “dispute” on a Gwinnet County bus before it fled and led police in a chase.

Footage taken by Mallory Lindley from her home on Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Atlanta shows dozens of police vehicles following the bus on Tuesday afternoon.

“What is happening?!” Lindley says in the footage.

Earlier in the day, a shooting occurred in the city, which was unconnected to the bus incident. Credit: Mallory Lindley via Storyful

Former Philippine leader Duterte and aide accused of steering government contracts to cronies
A former Philippine opposition senator accused ex-President Rodrigo Duterte of plundering state coffers in a criminal complaint filed Friday, alleging that he conspired with an aide to award government infrastructure contracts worth millions of dollars to cronies. Filed with the Department of Justice in Manila, the accusation adds to the former president’s legal worries, which include an investigation by the International Criminal Court into allegations of crimes against humanity over the widespread killings of suspects during Duterte's crackdown on illegal drugs. Former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV said two construction companies, owned by the father and brother of longtime Duterte aide and now Sen. Christopher Lawrence Go, received more than 100 government construction contracts worth at least 6.6 billion pesos ($114 million) from 2007 to 2018 in the southern city of Davao, while Duterte was mayor and vice mayor and after he became president in 2016.
