Also good to know he was caught. Why did they not report that in the paper. The whole SWAT thing was on the news too.
GOOD JOB TPD!
@ shelly13, the article says: "Speeds reached 80 mph near Whispering Wind Lane, just prior to the driver making a U-turn and traveling north in the southbound lanes of Tracy Boulevard."
They didn't make it to Linne Road. Looks like a u-turn just before the Ace Depot then, they headed back towards Valpico.
Good wishes though.
If you don't walk in someones' shoes, then stop talking like you know what it's like!
Tons of children, families, and elderly walking about during that time of day. A miracle that no body got killed.
