Their actions reflect the highest standards of law enforcement service.”
Witness Brandi Kinikin, who is also a resident who lives near the chase, spoke with Fox News and says, “It’s concerning. I don’t like the idea of gunshots anywhere near us. They could hurt not just you know, by shooting in the air, but also in the high-speed chase. They could have hurt anybody who was on the road. The officers could’ve been hurt, and they just need to be responsible for how they’re acting.”
The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges could be forthcoming.
