A man drove into a Texas mall after a 19-mile police pursuit, striking four people before he was fatally shot by responding law enforcement officers, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. A trooper shot and killed the suspect after the chase led them into the mall, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko said at a Saturday news conference. A Texas Highway Patrol Trooper attempted to stop a pickup truck around 5 p.m. Central Time, Washko said. The man driving the vehicle was called in as possibly driving while intoxicated, Washko said. After the suspect exited the highway, he entered the Killeen Mall parking lot, where he drove through the glass doors of a JCPenney store’s main entrance, according to Washko. “The suspect drove through the doors and continued to travel through the JCPenney store, striking multiple people,” he said.
