 Good afternoon, I'm Ann Kramer. And I'm Shawn Anderson, our top local story this hour on WTOP. Two people are dead this afternoon in a crash that followed a police chase here in our area. This chase began in Anne Arundel County. It ended in southeast D.C. when the car hit a tree and burst into flames. It started at 12.15 this afternoon when county police spotted a white BMW they believe was connected to several armed robberies. That vehicle then fled from our officers.
