Man goes on carjacking spree that starts in Newton, ends with a crash in Bedford

Brian D'Amico reports state and local police doggedly pursued a man who carjacked a woman in Newton, rammed into three cars in West Newton, got shot at by police, carjacked another person in Billerica, carjacked yet another person in Concord, then kept on going until he crashed into a pole and a tree on Springs Road in Bedford. He may have also found time to shoot somebody in Carlisle.

The chase began near Washington and Watertown streets in West Newton, which remains shut for an investigation. Janine Stewart reports it was her mother who was held up:

The Acura TL was my mother's car. The guy came to her door and told her he side swiped her car. When she went outside he lifted his shirt to expose a gun and took off in the car. ... Thankfully, she's OK.
