Miami Herald ^ | 4-14-15 | Charles Rabin

Police from several agencies are trying to piece together a shooting and chase on Tuesday morning that began in Miami, ended in North Miami, and left two people injured, including someone who may have been an innocent bystander.

By 10 a.m., it was still all confusing as Miami police cordoned off several sections along 79th Street from Northwest Sixth Avenue to Northeast Fourth Avenue.

According to sources, an officer was trying to pull over a car near a Valero gas station on 79th Street just off Interstate 95, when a man emerged from the car with an assault rifle and started firing. The officer returned fire. Neither man was hit.

As soon as I read “assault rifle” I stopped reading. Probably a Ruger .22.

Well then you missed the rest of the sentence where it said..."and started firing".

That would be the first person whose post mentions anything about race.

Hopefully there wont be any on this thread.

If you’re going to steal a cop car, that’s the one to go for!

Could be, but it’s interesting to note how much disruption can be accomplished by a single determined person with a rifle.

From the article: "...The officer believed to be involved in the shooting was seen shirtless getting out an ambulance there, and making his way to the car of his union representative."

Puts new sheet of paper in typewriter.

The officer believed to be involved in the shooting, his tanned, shirtless body glistening in the hot Miami sun, was seen getting out an ambulance and making his way to the car of his life partner, Kevin.

(screenplay writer):"Yes!"

...a man emerged from the car with an assault rifle and started firing.

I wonder what kind of "assault rifle" he used.

The situation is pretty funning isn't it when the thug is the one who starts the gun fight instead of the police.

Laughs all around.

How much do you want to bet it will turn out that the rifle is not fully automatic?
