'We were very scared': Eyewitness says as police pursued Trump suspect
High-Speed Standoff on I-195: A Chaotic Scene Unfolds
My family of three, including my mother, father, and me, were driving on I-195 when we stumbled upon a sudden and intense scene. We were about to enter the highway when we noticed a cluster of Patrol officers lining the road. As we drew closer, we saw a black Nissan speeding up and being followed by multiple Patrol officers. The situation escalated quickly, with a helicopter arriving on the scene.
Two Hours of Tension
We watched in awe as the standoff continued for over two hours, with officers surrounding the suspect’s car. We couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease, especially when we saw the officers with their rifles drawn. Although we were a safe distance away, the tension in the air was palpable. We tried to stay calm, but it was difficult not to feel frightened.
Safety Concerns
The officers were clearly taking precautions, and they asked us to stand back to ensure our safety. They warned people not to enter the area, stating that it would be considered trespassing. We heeded their warning and didn’t get too close to the scene.
Chaotic Scene Unfolds
As the standoff continued, more cars and trucks arrived, including Escalades and deputy vehicles. The officers rushed to the scene, seemingly preparing for a potential outcome. It was a chaotic and intense scene, with sirens blaring and people scrambling to get a glimpse of what was happening.
Fear and Anxiety
At first, we were petrified. We didn’t know what was going to happen next or what the suspect’s intentions were. We worried that they might try to flee and cause harm to others. But as the situation continued to unfold, we felt a sense of relief when we saw the sheer number of officers on the scene. It was clear that they were doing everything in their power to resolve the situation safely.
