Default High speed chase in Houston

My girl and I were in her car and saw this guy going over 100 right past us and a helicopter following him. Got home and turned on the news. Saw the last 5 minutes. Looks like the cops killed him, anyone else see it?

He was going pretty fast, but it looked like a taurus or something. I saw him pass right next to a silver TA on the news. Just wondering if anyone here saw him.

Lol, I was in an '04 Malibu Maxx, so it might have been a decent race assuming I could catch up.

Did it seem like that guy fell kinda quickly for just "tripping"? I think they shot his *** through the passenger window as they passed his dumb ***.

I agree, but it looks like an officer on foot may have shot him. He definatly fell quick and for alll the drama he caused, never even tried to get back up? If he tripped, he woulda got back up and bailed. Agree he should been shot, but disagree with our "Cover Up" society of Law Enforcement and Government.

I read in yesterdays Houston Chronicle that the task force missed this guy by a couple of minutes at his apartment the night before.

From what i saw, its a ford escort zx2 (shoulda drug his ***), the cop car beside him deff didnt shoot him (windows up), and the cop behind him didnt seem to have his weapon out when he enterd the screen, which wouldve been a very short time to holster it from when the guy dropped, espescially in a full sprint.

Either way, right before he gets dropped, he tosses a weapon i think, so completely justified shooting in my eyes.
