Watch: Officer fires through window in Las Vegas car chase An officer in Las Vegas fired through a window in a dramatic high-speed car chase last Wednesday.
The police unit released the video on Monday which showed dramatic body camera footage of an officer at the wheel, grabbing his gun, and peppering his windhsield with bullets to stop the suspect from getting away.
The chase and shootout, which occurred July 11, came after officers responded to an attempted murder call, police said.
Another police car joined the chase but was shot at by the suspects a number of times. Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Tim Kelly said in a statement that the second officer’s car was hit by bullets at least twice, forcing him to abandon the chase.
He added that during the pursuit, the two suspects, Fidel Miranda, 23, and 30-year-old Rene Nunez, fired 34 shots at officers and hit several marked police vehicles.
One suspect was killed during the pursuit, while the other was left wounded.
Another link & more information.
The officer was trying to kill these people instead of apprehending them?
Hmmmm?
Time to install a Gun Port in the Windshield of Police Cars.

Thank you for the link - that makes much more sense than the first one.
I think they should mount Ma-Duece on hood with a button on the steering wheel. ....and an extra video camera so we can get a gun-cam view to oggle on the internet later.
Lucky the cop didn’t shoot innocents!
Like Black Beauty on the Green Hornet.
Dreamers?
My blood pressure must have gone up double the prior rate following that long video.
I’ll give that officer credit for hanging in there.
The driver won’t be pulling that stunt again.
As for the other guy, he’ll have a long time to rethink his friendships.
“The officer was trying to kill these people instead of apprehending them?”
Are you kidding? They fired 34 rounds at the cops. What did you expect them to do, discontinue the chase? They were already murderers! In this case, I’m just sorry one of them is still breathing!
Those men opened fire on police officers three or four different times.
At that point, you’re not going in to shake hands, let me tell ya.
Your question was idiotic.
Vegas in July, I ain’t rolling this window down for nothing, it’s hot out side.
Yup,just saw it an hour ago.At least one of the guys being chased was a murder suspect.They said that two died...who knows if the other one was actually guilty of anything.
I would think anything short of .357 rounds would lose all effectiveness going through the windshield like that - especially when trying to pierce through a second window on the other vehicle.
And in this instance, having a gun with a 15 round mag probably made the difference. He fired 31 rounds. That’s two full mags plus the one in the pipe in the beginning.
Or this ...
They were shooting at him.Also,cops are allowed to use lethal force on anyone considered truly dangerous even when they're just trying to escape.
