The inside story of O.J. Simpson, the white Bronco and the police pursuit 25 years ago today that changed everything:
At LAPD headquarters, officials debated how the pursuit would end and how they could get Simpson to surrender peacefully.Inside the Bronco, Simpson answered a cellphone call from lead Det. Tom Lange.
With the sounds of sirens in the background, Lange tried to make a connection: “O.J. O.J. This is Tom Lange from the Police Department. Remember me.”Gascon said he stood behind Lange as he spoke.“I just need to get to my house where I lived with Nicole,” Simpson pleaded. Lange asked him to toss the gun, and Simpson replied, “I am not going to hurt anybody … but I need it for me.”Gascon said he thought at the time that Simpson was too much of narcissist to harm himself.Gascon said the LAPD was prepared with tactical, heavily armed officers at Simpson’s Rockingham estate in case the pursuit ended with a violent standoff and “it went sideways.”Her colleague, Lawrence Welk III, asked for jet fuel.
