Police chase through my College today...

I was standing in our schools cafe today and we all turned around when we heard police sirens near-by. And by near-by, I mean right outside the window, ON the pedestrian walkway, where there are trees, rocks, bushes and a lot of flowers...

Needless to say, approximately 5 cop cars speed by at speeds of around 30 miles an hour. They were flying by, on a pedestrian pathway!! What is going on?!?! Needless to say everyone ran outside to see what was going on, after standing there speechless for a few seconds.
Here is the news article. Thank goodness everyone is okay!
