A man who refused to pull over during a routine traffic stop led police on a chase on Interstate 35 in Laredo, Texas, shutting down the highway in both directions.
The chase ended near mile marker 79 after the suspect’s car blew a tire. Once outside of the vehicle, officers and the armed suspect engaged in a stand off for several hours, until the suspect was finally taken down.
Thousands of drivers were stuck on the highway during the incident. After 10 hours, the highway was finally reopened. The suspect was shot, but survived, and was taken to a nearby hospital.
