Texas 7 and Trinity River Bridge
According to police, a burglary was reported to the Leon County Sheriff's Office in Centerville. When the responding deputy saw a suspicious pickup and tried to make contact, the pickup's driver, Long, took off. A highway patrol trooper put down stop sticks at the Trinity River Bridge. All four of the pickup's tires were deflated, and Long got out of the truck and went under the bridge, where a stolen pickup was apparently waiting for him. Long reportedly put the truck in reverse and rammed the trooper's patrol car with the trooper inside. Preliminary investigation shows two law enforcement officers fired at Long, who died at the scene.
