in a nutshell:

"Sheriff Knight came to the scene and reported that the incident began in Osprey when a man was involved in a wreck and then fled. A responding deputy reportedly saw a dark green Dodge Ram with extensive front-end damage and began to pursue, Knight said.He attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled. For unknown reasons, the chase ended at Beneva and Clark, where the shooting happened."


and:

"The intersection of Clark and Beneva is expected to be closed for several hours today as authorities conduct an investigation. "

good job by the sarasota sheriffs. nice shooting by the responding deputy. glad to see none of the cops hurt.

only question is why did they waste the money on the helicopter flying the bad guy to the hospital?

OMG! My sons and I were in the middle of that! We left Riverview after getting their schedules and when we got onto Clark, we were maneuvered back north. We saw a helicopter and I was hoping it wasn't to transport someone to the hospital. We assumed it was a car accident. Scary stuff but glad it didn't end up worse!
