SUSPECT RUNS BAREFOOT FROM POLICE AFTER HIGH SPEED CHASE IN FORT BEND COUNTY
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Another day, another police chase, but this one had a different ending.
Early Monday afternoon, a man in a red Pontiac ran from Houston police. HPD hasn't provided details on why he was being pursued. The chase began near Highway 59 and Chimney Rock, then extended to Fort Bend County.

The man made it to the parking lot of an assisted living center on the feeder road. SkyEye video shows him approaching a couple unloading their SUV. About that time, a white Jeep enters the picture, driven by Blake Hopson.
He saw the foot chase, saw the man running across the parking lot, and approach the truck.
"I didn't know what would happen if he got to those people," he said. So Hopson opened his glovebox, and retrieved his 45ca. pistol.

Some groups don't think this counts since no one died...
