And he was on his way to a news conference with his wife? Was the Chief starring in this news conference and wanted his wife, (who was not supposed to be in a city vehicle) to watch?
Begs the question, was he running late to the news conference. Is it worth checking the time of the collision and the start time of the news conference. He could be a camera hound cop...Ya never know.
Where is the radio traffic of the Chief getting on his radio and reporting man with a gun, shots fired? I assume it must exist..
