I saw a dashboard recording from a police cruiser in TX, of a shootout at what was approximately seventyfive yards with police out on the highway.
I believe the shooter; felon had already shot one state policeman.
Four or five officers lined up in formation, shoulder to shoulder and brisquely walked straight down the highway closing in on the shooter who had taken cover behind his car door. They were under fire, but this shooter was so shaken, he didn't hit any of them. I think.
It was like the shootout at the OK corral or something. I've not seen that amazing scene again, but would like to. I would also like to know the outcome. My excuse: I must have been napping and just awakened when I saw this thing.
Does anyone know of this incident, or where I could see it again?
It may have been one of the Sherriff Bunnell episodes.

The officers were after a man that had just shot a trooper, I think in Omahaw, the man's truck went off the road. In the dashboard camera you seee 3 then 4 officers walking fast in a line sholder to sholder at about arms length with their rifles sholdered aiming at the truck, the man in the truck fires 1 shot then the troopers open up on the truck at a disdance of about 50 yards. by the time they get to the truck in a line view I think you can see maby 7 troopers in the line. The man fireing on the troopers was killed. In the end of the video on of the troopers is being interviewed by the t.v. news. He holds up a lever action rifel and said something like " The man shot and kill on Interstate so and so was armed with this lever action rifel in .308 cal. The man fired on the troopers first and they returend fire killing him. We also believe this is the wepon he used to shoot Trooper so and so about 10 min. earlier on interstate so and so." then he shows where one of the rounds fired from the troopers put a hole in the butstock. I think I remeber seeeing the date in the dashboard camera '88 or '89 not sure. I think the wounded trooper maid it. I'm just parafraising all of this because it was such a short and amaizeing viedo and I only saw it once. Oh ya, I think the Troopers were using AR-15's. I hope someone can find this viedo.
