Texas shootout might be tied to Colo. slaying

DECATUR, Texas (AP) - A man who could be linked to the slaying of Colorado's state prison chief is likely to die after being shot by Texas authorities following a harrowing car chase there, authorities said Thursday.

Wise County Sheriff David Walker told an afternoon press conference in Decatur that the man is still unidentified. He said the suspect is "basically legally dead," although he remains hooked to equipment for organ harvesting at a Ft. Worth hospital.

The man was stopped while driving a black Cadillac with Colorado plates that matched the description of a vehicle spotted outside the house of Colorado prisons head Tom Clements shortly before he was fatally shot Tuesday.

A deputy in Montague County, Texas, tried to pull the car over at about 11 a.m. Thursday. The driver opened fire on the deputy, wounding him, Walker said. He then led authorities on a 100-mph chase that ended when he crashed into a semi, left his car and opened fire on his pursuers.

What network do we suppose the radio in this Cadillac was tuned to? Could this guy have gotten any attitude from FOX? Would he have watched FOX on TV, or the blaze? You know, I bet he did. Rufus Murdoch, Roger Ailes (the fat one) and their stable of professional traitor/liars can chalk up another proof of their effectiveness. Success!!!

I don't know if you caught it....... but FAUX was playing up the idea that this murder was committed by Muslims on behalf of a Saudi in Colorado prison.

Oooops! I'm sure they'll correct that.
