Incredible video released by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol showing a high speed chase where a trooper was fired upon.
The body and dashcam footage shows the chase with an armed robbery suspect from Arizona.
"The video only shows the chase that led up to the shootout along the Turner Turnpike. Sources tell News 4 the footage showing the troopers returning fire was edited out because it’s part of an ongoing investigation. The purpose of Thursday’s video is to prove the suspect shot first.
“Passing 10th. Nearly struck a OCPD motorcycle officer,” said Trooper Brack Miller, with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Miller kept his calm while dodging bullets from an Arizona armed robbery suspect’s gun.
The chase happened on April 2 on one of the metro’s busiest turnpikes...
The suspect, 32-year-old Charles Carswell, refused to stop.
“[Trooper] 950, shots fired. He shot one through the back window,” said Miller. “Still pointing the gun.”"
Ultimately the chase ended when the suspect refused to drop his weapons during a standoff with police.
Video of the stand off was not released.
