This video is wild. Apparently it took place in the Dallas area (it mentions Plano and 'central')
I think it's from a bank robbery pursuit from earlier this year. But I'm just guessing.
[Warning for a bit of language in the video]

Robbers terrorize Plano
By: Nicole Bywater and Kevin Bowen 11/08/2004
A violent flight from a Richardson bank robbery rushed through Plano Thursday, leaving a trail of gunfire, stolen vehicles and, for the moment, a successful getaway.
No one was seriously injured in the day's events, in which at least three Richardson squad cars and one from Plano took bullets. The spree ended with three car-jackings.
"We've never had any robberies of this fashion or this violence," said Sgt. Kevin Perlich, Richardson police spokesman.
At 10:20 a.m. Thursday, Richardson police responded to a 9-1-1 call of a bank robbery at the American First National Bank, located in the 400 block of N. Greenville Ave., just a few blocks from Richardson police headquarters.
Two men, wearing masks and dark clothing and armed with AK-47-style assault weapons robbed the bank in a "take-over style," Perlich said. Richardson police do not know yet how much money was taken in the robbery.
The suspects fled in a dark brown Honda, which police believe was driven by a third man involved in the robbery.
The robbers then abandoned the Honda in the 300 block of Trellis Lane, located near the intersection of W. Park Boulevard and Coit Road in Plano.
There, they switched to a red Chevy Suburban, which police believe they had already stolen and had left as a potential getaway car. While moving north on Central Expressway, Perlich said an off-duty Richardson police officer passed them while driving an unmarked Ford Crown Victoria.
"The robbers saw that, thought they were being followed by that officer and began to fire on the vehicle with automatic AK-47 style weapons," Perlich said. "That officer didn't know what he had come across until he began getting shot at."
The off-duty officer was injured from flying debris after his windshield shattered. He was transported to Richardson Medical Center, where he was treated and released early Thursday afternoon.
Richardson police pursued the supsects on Central Expressway and exited east at Plano Parkway.
At the intersection of Stewart Drive and Summit Avenue, the men abandoned the Suburban and car-jacked a white Chevy Pick-up truck. They then traveled a very short distance east on Summit Avenue, where they crashed into a green Pontiac car in the intersection of Summit Avenue and Jupiter Road. Construction work has been blocking Jupiter Road this week.
The occupants of that vehicle were not identified, and Perlich said no one was seriously injured in the wreck.
After wrecking the pickup, the suspects escaped on foot and started shooting at a Richardson police squad car at the Jupiter/Summit intersection.
The suspects attempted two car-jackings as they moved south toward the Texas WorkForce Commission office. They tried taking a Hyundai occupied by a woman and her baby, Perlich said.
"The woman and the baby got out of the car and the suspects attempted to drive away in her car, but could not because of the traffic in the area," Perlich said. In the TWC parking lot, the men car-jacked a Mazda 626.
"We were really worried about her," said Tanya Harvey, who was standing on the west side of Jupiter when the suspects took the car keys. "I was busy trying to get the license plate and log my description. I didn't have time to be scared because I was more worried about her."
Shots were fired at police by the suspects during the foot chase, Perlich said.
"We were very lucky no one was hurt," he said. "It just shows you how desperate some individuals are that they would be willing to kill someone to try and get away."
Police followed the suspects over medians, grassy areas and through the business district of east Plano, onto Los Rios Boulevard, where they lost sight of the suspects.
With helicopters swirling overhead, police and FBI agents took up station in a parking lot in the nearby 3900 block of Plano Parkway. At the time, police believed the suspects might have left their car and tried to leave the area on foot, Perlich said.
That belief dried up shortly after noon, with a report of a stolen 1994 Honda Accord, license plate P76 NZG, at the Lakeside Village Apartments in Wylie, said Mark Witter, Wylie public information officer. At a nearby home in the 300 block of Valentine Street, police found the Mazda 626 with its doors flung open, abandoned.
Witter said police believe the suspects used the stolen vehicle to leave the area. Witter said there was "no evidence to show that [the suspects] were in Wylie," by the time of the search.
The discovery led to a lockdown at Wylie banks and all Wylie ISD schools, including nearby Hartman Elementary School, within walking distance of where police found the Mazda.
Mary Simmons has nine-year-old twins at Hartman, and had heard about the lockdown. She stood along a road, with others, near where police recovered the vehicle Her concern faded as events unfolded.
"I don't think it could too serious because they wouldn't be letting us out here," she said.
Tara Kirkland, among several groups of neighbors who stood on nearby roadsides watching police, expressed concern about possibly having the men near her home.
"I want to know where they're at," she said.
Police continue to search for the men. The suspects were not wearing masks while they car-jacked vehicles, and are thought to be three Hispanic males, although no other description is available, Perlich said.
Perlich said he believes that the robbers' original plan was to escape in the red Chevy Suburban, but that the plan dramatically changed when they fired shots at off-duty officer on the freeway.
"They then just went into panic mode," he said.
The FBI is also involved in the investigation and comparing this bank robbery to others that have been committed in the area. In addition to the bank robbery charges, the suspects could face attempted capital murder, because shots were fired upon police officers, Perlich said.
Officers did not return fire at any of the shooting scenes because of the number of people in the area, Perlich said.
"It definitely tells you how dangerous and how desperate these guys are to get away," Perlich said. "
