KILLEEN, Texas — Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko said a person who drove through the Killeen mall Saturday night was shot and killed by authorities.

It started around 5 p.m. when a DPS trooper tried to pull over a person driving a black truck near the intersection of I-35 and I-14 in Belton. He refused to stop and eventually exited I-14 and drove into the Killeen parking lot and through the front doors of the JC Penney, Washko said.

From article, doesn't sound like a jihadi but instead a "normal" criminal with no regard for human life. Horrible crime.

It IS a horrible crime. It’s just the kind Biden wants to commute.

Whenever they don’t want to release the ID of the perp you know it’s one of 3 or so protected classes of the Democratic Party.

He crashed into the mall after a 19 mile chase.

My guess is that the car was stolen, and the guy thought he could bail into the mall and lose himself into the crowd.

Four that I can think of. Nevertheless, they are protecting him.

Regardless, from the link......

‘”We don’t know who this guy is,” Washko said. “We don’t know what he’s going through. We don’t know if there’s something going on that this was an intentional act or he’s just out of desperation because he was being pursued. Those things are going to come out in the investigation with the Rangers.”’

And when they start making excuses....

We don’t know what he’s going through?????

That is NO reason to do what he did. Lots of people have problems and don’t drive cars into malls.

Criminals have become totally embolden.

By the lack of prosecution in many places.

By the lack of proper penalties for their actions.

DPS can say that and take no heat because the Texas Rangers are doing the investigation. The Rangers probably will not say anything like that, because ... Texas Rangers.

“He refused to stop and eventually exited I-14 and drove into the Killeen parking lot and through the front doors of the JC Penney”

At least no one would be killed or injured by him driving through that store.
