txmusil : Sad that man was a criminal. If he wasn't, he may still be alive. Did you know others cars in the area were struck. One lady's car had, I think, 4 bullets in the drivers side door. She would be dead if she had been in her car. At least this criminal will not be let out of jail in 2 days.
txmusil : May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family and everyone affected by this tragic incident.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : If she were in the car chances are the cops wouldn't have shot in that direction. 
txmusil : It is sad indeed however the situation could have been worse considering he was an alleged criminal. Innocent lives may have been saved.
At least this criminal will not be let out of jail in 2 days.
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : An old AM radio host used to call that "instant rehabilitation." That guy made bad choices all day that cost him everything. He chose to commit the crimes, he chose to end up being pursued by police, he got out of the vehicle holding a gun and chose to fire it at police. There are several crossroads in the day where he could have chosen to do the right thing and lived to tell about it.

txmusil : Saw that. Thug nation
FRUGAL : Statistics identify a core of recidivists that deservedly get a lot of bad press. Otherwise, the results are not what most of us think.`

donnatella :
Cracklins: there wasn't a Chase. He entered the Humble area and law-enforcement knew he was heading that way , so there was a BOLO in place
LittleTexas : Sorry. I mistook one LEO passing him to another as a form of chasing. I am still interested in why there was any interest in his detention in the first place.
