TX Policeman Shoots Dead Suspect Who Pretended to Surrender Then Shoots At Officer

Pulls a gun: Almost as soon as he raised he hands, Solis spun round and fired at least four shots at Officer Gibson. Three hit the car windshield, and the fourth brushed his uniform but did not injure him.


[From article]
This heart-stopping footage shows a Texas cop's brush with death as a suspect appears to surrender - then pulls a gun and fired four shots at him.
A split-second firefight then erupts, in which Andra Gibson, an officer with the police department of Hedwig Village, near Houston, downs Emilio Solis with a series of fatal gunshots.

Officer Gibson then returned fire, at which point Solis collapsed to the ground. A backup car quickly arrives, and the lights illuminate Solis laying on the ground not far from his vehicle.
He later died on the way to hospital.
The policeman had first tired to pull Solis over for making an illegal turn, but the routine stop escalated into a chase.
Solis pulled over to let out a passenger before speeding off again. At points in the chase he drove the wrong way in an attempt to shake off the officer.
It later emerged that Solis was wanted in Los Angeles on drug charges. He was also suspected of being involved in seven aggravated burglaries shortly before he was killed.
David Gott, chief of Hedwig Village police, said: 'No doubt about it. God was on his side.
'The officer is also a pastor in his off-duty time. I don't know if that helped. But it certainly didn't hurt.'
