Cincinnati Police Chief Elliot Isaac confirmed two bystanders were killed on Friday by a suspect vehicle in a high speed police chase.
CNN’s Rebekah Riess and Jay Croft reported “Police said in a release that their Organized Crime Investigations Squad and members of the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) Task Force tried to stop a vehicle with three subjects of an ongoing felony investigation about 4:20 p.m. Friday. The suspects fled and eventually crossed the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, entering Newport, Kentucky.”
In the release, two more people were injured and taken to the hospital after the car lost control. Isaac also confirmed the three suspects have non-life-threatening injuries and are “held by authorities.”
CNN also reported “Witness Steve Caminiti told the station, A car came flying — probably 90 mph — it just missed me by maybe centimeters.”
The car according to Caminiti crashed into the building and he should be thankful he lived to inform officers about the incident. There haven’t been any reports on the suspects’ motive or what triggered the high speed chase.
Details will be available as the story develops.
