When the man fled the scene of the first alleged shooting, police caught up to him, and he shot at officers multiple times. Police chased him from Hollywood into Silverlake, where he crashed outside the shop, shot his girlfriend, and ran inside.
The vehicle was seen wrapped around a pole and police rescued the 20-year-old woman left inside. Her injuries have not been confirmed, but are believed to include a gunshot wound, KTLA  reported.

Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times the woman is his girlfriend, and he had fired at officers, who fired back, before he ran inside the supermarket.
LAPD told KCAL the man had shot his grandmother and girlfriend about 1.30pm, before fleeing the Hollywood scene in a 2015 Toyota Camry and arriving at the supermarket before 3.30pm
When he did surrender to police just after 6.30pm, the man emerged with handcuffs on and with four hostages, as was previously agreed to in negotiations between the man and LAPD, ABC reported.

Law enforcement spent hours working to evacuate employees and customers, including small children, with at least one person seen fleeing with injuries.
While many were seen fleeing from the supermarket, it is believed there were still as many as 30 people inside just after 4pm.
Mayor Garcetti confirmed to reporters the man had been in contact with LAPD during the hostage situation, and initially had 40-50 customers and employees in the store with him.
‘A slow and steady stream of people who had hidden and were helped by LAPD to escape, or people who were released by the hostage taker [were seen leaving the store],’ he said.
The gunman was injured in his left arm during his shootout with police, and NBC reported towards the end of the hostage situation, people he had forcibly taken were helping him with his wounds.
Devin Field said on Twitter he was about to enter the Trader Joe’s when the man’s car crashed into a street lamp outside.
‘I was walking in when he crashed into the entrance and got out shooting,’ he said.
‘I ducked behind the four-foot retaining wall in the parking lot and three LAPD officers ran over, knelt behind it right next to me and opened fire.’
Field says others who had been evacuated said the gunman ‘walked in shooting’, demanded a jumper and a phone, and moved the remaining hostages to the back of the store.

An employee told him there was ‘blood all over the floor’, but they did not know where it’d come from. He says another employee said one Trader Joe’s worker was shot in the arm.
Don Kohles , 91, was also walking into the Trader Joe’s when the suspect crashed his car into the street pole.
He says police fired at the male driver and shattered the store’s glass doors.People outside the store and others inside took cover and laid on the floor as the suspect ran inside.
He says the man ran toward the back of the store and yelled at people inside but he never heard any more gunshots.
The elderly man said he was terrified and others around him were sobbing. After about 30 minutes, he says police came him and rushed them outside.
