Lifted Chevy Tahoe Runs From Police
Read the full story on The Auto Wire We've seen some dumb choices for getaway vehicles before, but this lifted Chevy Tahoe might be the worst one yet. The suspect decided to use the top-heavy, unsteady SUV to do a drive-by shooting in Columbus, Ohio, then ran from a swarm of police as they responded to the you can see in the included dashcam footage, the tall profile of the vehicle made it super easy for officers to spot it. Even though the initial 911 caller said it was a Ford SUV, police didn't struggle to realize it was in fact a Tahoe. When police first caught up with the guy, he just stopped at a red light with the rest of traffic, giving time for multiple cruisers to amass behind him. Maybe it's his first time running from cops? While we think his vehicle choice is weird for a police chase, it's his personal ride. We guess it would be a great option for going off-roading and getting away from your pursuers. The closest he gets to that is driving over a sidewalk and some grass. But police in Columbus, Ohio have a policy that they don't PIT high-centered vehicles like SUVs, except in deadly force situations. We doubt this guy knows that. Instead, they start making preparations to spike those massive tires. In the meantime, the suspect keeps leaning out the driver's window, taunting police. He probably thinks they're powerless to stop his manly ride with a butterfly sticker on the back glass. The Tahoe isn't nearly fast enough to outrun the Ford Police Interceptors, which is truly sad. All he's doing is just burning up gas until something ends the chase. Police try boxing the SUV in when he stops a couple of times, but those massive tires allow him to just shrug the cruisers off. After he drives through an elementary school and past a couple of school buses loaded with kids, the gloves come off and an officer hits the Tahoe in a brutally effective T-bone. The extremely top-heavy Chevy flips onto its roof like a dead cockroach. They guy who just a moment before was taunting police suddenly was crying for help as he was stuck in the overturned SUV. He's not such a tough guy once his lifted truck trapped him, that's for sure. Image via Midwest Safety/YouTube Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.

Livermore police make arrest in July 4 weekend drive-by shooting
A Livermore man has been charged in connection with a drive-by shooting that took place over the July 4 holiday weekend, authorities said. According to Livermore Police, officers were called to the 300 block of Chestnut Street around 2 a.m. on July 5. When officers arrived, they found a 27-year-old Livermore man suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers provided aid to the victim, who was taken to a local hospital. The victim has since been released from the hospital and is recovering. Investigators said they believed the shooting was gang-related. In an update on Tuesday, police said they arrested 25-year-old Jesus Andrade of Livermore in connection with the shooting as he was leaving his home on July 8. He was taken into custody without incident. Police said Andrade was booked into the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on suspicion of shooting from a vehicle and assault with a firearm. The Alameda County District Attorney's Office has since filed charges in the case. The shooting was among several violent incidents that took place in Livermore on the morning of July 5. Officers also responded to a reported fight involving 30 people near the intersection of Chestnut and North "I" streets and a knife assault in the same area. Police said they also responded to more than 90 fireworks-related calls that night. "I want to thank all the officers and dispatchers who worked last night to manage an exceptionally high call volume while continuing to prioritize public safety," Police Chief Jeramy Young said at the time.

Two men are charged with murder three months after a grandmother was fatally gunned down outside her house in horror drive-by shooting
Two men have been charged with murder three months after a grandmother was shot dead in an alleged drive-by attack. Kim Duncan, 65, died in April after three gunmen allegedly peppered her southwest Sydney home with bullets and drove off. Jesse Evans, 34, and Manase Fakahau, 19, were charged with her murder on Wednesday and hauled before Bankstown Local Court. Police allege three men arrived at a house on Dickens Road, Ambarvale, on April 14, got out of their car and started shooting at the home. The alleged gunmen then climbed back into a dark-coloured sedan and fled. Ms Duncan was in the front living room when she was shot in the leg and died at the scene. Her son, James Shaine Dowd, 34, and a 21-year-old woman were also home at the time, but were uninjured. The family residing at the address were known to police, and officers allege Ms Duncan was not the intended target. 'It's abhorrent, somebody coming up to a house and putting shots off is totally reckless and the consequences are catastrophic,' NSW Police Superintendent Grant Healey told reporters at the time. Police had been investigating the family who had only lived in the home for less than two months before the shooting. 'Initially they were [cooperating with police], but at this point in time we're trying to work with them to get some more information,' Supt Healey said. 'We don't know the intent or the reason why [the shots] were fired at the house.' About 4am on Wednesday, officers descend on homes in Atkinson Street, Liverpool, and Sudbury Street, Belmore. 'It was the person that resided at the house, she was shot at, and we believe the people that were involved had a grudge, an argument, or a beef with somebody who lived in that location,' Supt Healey said on Wednesday. He said both men were known to police, one more extensively than the other. Police previously arrested Ms Duncan's son, Mr Dowd, in Ambarvale and another male, aged 32. Police were called to a home in Ambarvale, southwest Sydney, on April 14 following reports shots had been fired at a home (above, Mr Dowd distraught outside the home at the time) The men assisted police and were released without charge. Daily Mail Australia does not suggest either man was involved in the shooting. Detectives are still on the hunt for a third person they believe to have been involved in the alleged shooting. Anyone with information that could assist Strike Force Apslawn detectives has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
