A harrowing vehicle pursuit in Texas of a U.S. citizen who was allegedly attempting to smuggle 62 illegal immigrants ended Friday after authorities opened fire on the suspect, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) confirmed to the DCNF that on Friday a large Kenworth truck tractor towing a tanker trailer dodged a Border Patrol checkpoint in Webb County in southern Texas.
Border Patrol chased the truck, but the driver refused to yield, DPS said. Texas state troopers took over the pursuit, which led them to the city of Cotulla, Texas. The truck driver had struck law enforcement vehicles, sideswiped a La Salle County patrol unit, which led a Sheriff’s deputy and DPS Troopers to fire several rounds into the truck cab.
