Deadly force

While pursuing a speeding motorist, officer Christopher Saladino and his partner lost sight of the other, but continued to search the area. The unidentified man apparently saw the marked squad car and put his other in reverse, drove through an alley and crashed into a garbage can. When Saladino approached the driver's side, the man allegedly ran over Saladino foot and pinned him against a metal pole. Saladino fired into the windshield, killing the driver. Saladino sustained serious injuries to both legs.
