Cristhian Eliud Ramos-Murillo vowed he’d never go back to Florida alive. After the shootout with Knox County and THP authorities, he got his wish.

The gunman and police traded nearly 70 shots between them. When it was over, Ramos-Murillo was mortally wounded and his 21-year-old passenger was critically wounded.

You’ll watch the dramatic THP maneuver that brought the pursuit to a halt. And you’ll hear from the Knox County deputy who came eye to eye with the gunman, trading shots with him from inside the patrol car he calls “a coffin.” https://bit.ly/3e9HmCQ
