Default Tampa Armed Rapist Killed

Car chase and shooting was video taped and shown here. No law enforcement injured. http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/new...th-in-shootout
Raw footage as of 4:45 pm but will probably be taken down soon.
Graphic in nature. If it gets taken down, know this boys in blue won.

Glad no law enforcement were injured. At first glance it looks like the police opened fire first.. I counted 7 shots fired at the car almost before the police vehicle had stopped rolling. Then I noticed the rear window was shot out while the chase was ongoing... leading me to believe that shots had been fired before the end of the chase. So I'm thinking that the perp shot at the police and they returned fire. He got what he deserved. What a waste of human life.

The subsequent press conference to the video indicated that the perp carjacked the vehicle at gunpoint, shot at the pursuing officers out the back glass and tried to run the officers over with the getaway car during the chase. He was even exchanging rounds with the officers in that blue Challenger parked there, I think. Kind of surreal.
District Commander involved in shooting and calling the shots. Pit move worked although the lady Chief nor the Sheriff thought so.
Good analysis Destroyer.
