Come here now. Come here now. >> [ __ ] hell. Go to [ __ ] hell. Head 25, shots fired. Shots fired. >> According to investigators, the individual suddenly rushed toward the deputy and displayed what appeared to be a firearm.

A simple citation was no longer the issue. The priority had become public safety. All units, we're >> After a brief but intense pursuit, Trooper Little executed a tactical maneuver that brought the vehicle to a stop. The SUV left the roadway and came to rest in a ditch.
