This is like the second case over the weekend where the suspect somehow gained access the shooter's vehicle. What do others have planned to prevent such "negligence" (too strong???) from occuring to you.09:32 AM CDT on Saturday, November 3, 2007
From WFAA-TV Staff Reports
A pursuit that started at a southwest Dallas hospital early Saturday morning ended with the suspect's death.
Investigators said two police officers from Methodist Charlton Medical Center, in the 3500 block of Wheatland Road, chased the man from the hospital parking garage to the nearby Rosemont at Hickory Trace apartments at 5:20 a.m.
There was a confrontation with the suspect, who got into a hospital squad car and attacked a female officer.
The suspect was shot and killed by the one of the Methodist officers at the scene.
Neither officer from the Methodist Health System Police Department was belived to be injured, but both were taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center in Oak Cliff for a checkup. Their names were not released.
The suspect's identity was not available, and the hospital had no immediate comment.
Sidenote: What happens to a LEO administratively, if a suspects gain control of the assigned vehicle??? Just wondering?
