Only some hours ago, a gunman hijacked a Texas City bus in
Austin, Texas, which led to a high speed chase for 30 miles before he pulled
over and killed himself.
According to the
press release from Lt. James Nisula by Associated Press Radio, the man boarded
a bus about 4.30 pm on Saturday. Then, he forced two passengers at gunpoint (including
the bus driver) to leave the vehicle and drove off.
Police identified the vehicle and chased after it. After several
attempts to get the gunman to pull over and turn off the engine failed, they
laid down road spikes and deflated the bus tires. The man eventually entered an
auto parts outlet’s parking lot.
Officers heard a gunshot as they surrounded the bus. Apparently,
the man fatally shot himself to death. No names have been released by the
Police.
