Langendorff says the suspected gunman made it to his SUV and drove away, but the two men gave chase. The chase ended at a sharp curve where the suspect wrecked. During this time, the two men pursuing him were on the phone with 911 giving detailed information to police about where they were headed. Shortly after the crash, the man fled on foot. source
