Just so people know exactly what this guy is fleeing from. The man's name is Victor Baymon. He shot 3 people at three different locations, killing one. It started when he followed his ex-wife as she went into a tax preparation business. At the business he shot and killed the tax preparer (Brandon Harris). He then headed to a convenience store and committed armed robbery. During the robbery he shot the store clerk (the clerk survived and is critical condition as of writing this), He then carjacked a car belonging to a man. Drove it a few miles where he crashed it at an apartment building complex. Then he carjacked a car belonging to a female. After only going a short distance, he got out of that car and shot construction worker at random (who survived and is critical condition). This final piece I am not clear about. But either he drove off in the current car or he carjacked another car and drove off. After a manhunt lasting several hours, the police caught up to him and this pursuit began.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Idiots don't care to realize when police officers put everyone in danger. The initiation of the stop is what put people's lives in danger. They knew he was a suspect in a violent crime involving a firearm, and at that time, he didn't know they were on to him until they turned their lights on (knowing that he is a suspect in a triple shooting, mind you). Any idiot should know, if someone is willing to shoot another person, then they probably aren't just going to surrender when a cop says "pull over". Common sense would say that it would be a public risk to initiate a stop against a potentially armed person with the capacity to kill in a populated area. Police actually have the technology to never have to chase anybody again, yet this was the choice they made. Dumb.

poor tree. It had been sitting there messing with no one for all those years just to end up scarred

[@johnmontgomery3174]

I'm glad no one else was hurt, but that seems like a pretty risky chase. Some police departments would have backed off. As dumb and inattentive as some drivers are, I'm surprised that the guy didn't have a head-on collision. Prayers for a full recovery for the tree.

[@richcheckmaker9789]

No police department backs of a chase for a suspect in a TRIPLE SHOOTING as the video is clearly titled. Use your brain.

[@garyjackson3531]

Not a single police department would have backed off this chase.

[@ChalkyHonky]

You think he was heading for a gun free zone? Serious question are you simple or just plain stupid?

[@danielrn133]

Love how you blame the other drivers for not paying attention to a psycho driving the wrong way. I am sure you would respond perfectly. Christ. You blame the cops and you blame other drivers. Poor innocent criminal.

Glad the officers and civilians were okay. I hope that tree was able to be saved as well.

I think hell is far worse than prison. Thank God no one else was killed by him or the officer driving the way they did.

[@Sponge60]

I'm a huge supporter of law enforcement, but that was beyond reckless. The bad guys can't outrun the radio. Flying through intersections, wrong way into traffic. It's a miracle that no innocent lives were lost in this chase.

90 MPH driving the wrong way? Geez...

going through the police blocked off intersection going the wrong way was pretty intense 1:07

He couldn't slow down due to the big moving momentum created by his enormous balls

The right word is not intense but INNSANE AND WRECLESS !!! Police was putting many more lives at danger with this totally insane car chase in the wrong lane and blasting trough intersections !

Man that was so dangerous for both of them. The cop and the suspect. Driving that fast in oncoming traffic and through intersections. He wasn’t getting away NOTTT TODAYY

[@BarekHalfhand]

And of course he had previous offenses prior to this little escapade... There's a picture of one of his victims in the link and he looks like a decent guy ... the suspect survived the crash but he's in critical condition.

If I were the pursuit officer, I would have been terrified to be going that fast and in oncoming traffic. It would take only one vehicle making the wrong turn to end your life.

Incredible driving skills from the police officer providing video. You have my complete respect and support. Thank you, Sir, for wanting to put that uniform on and serve this community to the extent that you do.

those were terrible driving skills. no where in north América is it acceptable to chase on the opposite side of travel against the public. that officer needs to be reprimanded.
