This past Sunday, while on evening shift, the Sergeant gave us an early leave to go for wings and a brew.
The four of us had a round of each and then headed off home.
Unbeknownst to us, three blocks away was a shooting just as we were leaving.
The suspect vehicle was described as a black Dodge Ram.
One of my shift-mates was driving a dark blue Chevy Silverado.
The helicopter picked him up on camera and sicced the night shift crew on him. He was followed all the way accross the city to a few blocks away from home where he was taken down in a high-risk traffic stop. Guns drawn, keys out the window, proned-out on the ground, whirlybird circling the entire time.
It was all the talk at Monday shift briefing. He didn't think it was as funny as we did.
This is exactly why I drive a 20-year-old Toyota. Homicide suspects never drive one of those.
