Third Shift Annoyance #2: Running Errands in the Evening

I really didn't think everything would fit in that little car! Stephanie drives a Scion Xa, and she loves it. It's a nice car, efficient, cheap, reliable, but I feel a little guilty driving it considering I work at Chrysler. Oh well.

We had quite a night. While leaving Target, we witnessed a police officer shooting a fleeing suspect. We were leaving the store and saw four cruisers sitting outside. We figured it may just be a shoplifter, so we just went to the car. As I was getting into the hatch, I saw two officers walk towards another car, their hands on their guns. I was a little shocked, but thought nothing of it. The next thing I know, the car is speeding down the lane with the cop hanging from the door! I hear three gunshots (maybe 2?) and I crouched down behind the car. I couldn't really see what was happening, but the car came to a stop after hitting another. That's pretty much it. Here's a link to the story in the Rockford Register Star. I guess the guy was killed. Pretty messed up stuff. We didn't stick around, although we probably should have. We were pretty anxious to just get the hell outta there. I wasn't sure at the time if they were shooting at each other or not, so I was pretty freaked out. Everything's okay for us, but it was pretty crazy experience.
