Radio Captures Chase of…Police Car

Louisville (Ken.) police officers responded to a burglar alarm at a fastfood restaurant, and chased the burglars’ getaway car. The chase ended and two suspects fled. Officers captured one, but the second suspect doubled back, hopped into an empty police car and sped off. The chase eventually crossed over the Interstate 65 bridge into Jeffersonville (Ind.), where the suspect drove the car into the Ohio River, came out of the car armed with a handgun, and was shot by officers. Listen to a 14-minute tape of the LPD radio transmissions from a newspaper’s scanner here (the radio is scanning several channels, so you’ll hear different dispatchers at times).
