Something is Going Down…
Posted on May 29, 2003 by Christine | 7 Comments
Hmmm… something is going down here in downtown Houston – there are at least six news helicopters hovering overhead. Unfortunately, there isn’t any information on the Houston Chronicle or KHOU or KPRC sites yet to clue me in.
It’s a bit unsettling to see all of these helicopters just sitting there. What do I do? I grab my camera, of course! (I’ll post the photo tonight.)
Update: It was a high-speed chase of a stolen car that ended in downtown when they slammed into another car at McKinney and Smith. They tried to flee on foot, but they were caught, in part thanks to a bystander that helped. “He threw a forearm to the suspect as the suspect ran by him,” said HPD Officer James Price. “He fell into the scaffolding and that’s when I was able to catch him. He helped out tremendously.” (from the KHOU website.)

KHOU and KPRC are now reporting that there was a little bit of a high speed chase going on. Nice weather for a drive I suppose.

Oh yes, the weather is gorgeous today – clear crisp blue skies, low temps for Houston – I walked about 8 blocks at lunch and didn’t even break a sweat! Now if only it could be like this for the rest of the summer…
