I absolutely hate where I live. My community leads out to a large road. It's only 2 lanes plus the turn lane, but it is heavily traveled. They've shut it down because some idiot decided to lead the state troopers on a chase. Details are kinda fuzzy, but we do know 2 state troopers were shot, 1 is either unconscious or dead. Other rumors are the driver held/is holding his son as hostage, that two-three other people were also shot, and that the shooter has been killed. Oh yeah, and this chase started about 45 minutes south of here.
This is from the paper:
State Police are on the scene in (my town) after a chase that led police from the (where it started, 45 minutes south) area to (my town). We've had scanner reports of two people shot. Helicopters and ambulances have been called to the scene. Numerous police cars are on scene.
Police have closed off Route (ABC at XYZ) to all traffic. We have a reporter and photographers on scene and will update as the situation unfolds.
This might not be a big deal to some, but for me it is. We don't have this stuff here, just drug busts, rapes, robberies, and the rare murder.
