Way beyond fake news. The brothers were pursued by about 1,000 cops from departments of many surrounding cities and towns. The posse left the neighborhood bullet ridden where the younger brother ran over the older one. The posse even shot one of their own. Yes, the posse caught up and found the older brother.
