Video: Young girl on a ‘Ride-Along’ cries during police shootout as bullets whiz between her and the officers head, and people wonder why cops are on edge with itchy trigger fingers!
Search is underway for a shooter who sprayed gunfire at a Madera police officer and a passenger during a ride-along. The officer was not injured; the passenger suffered some cuts from broken glass during the shooting. Police said 13 shots were fired and three rounds struck the police cruiser. Two of the shots pierced the windshield. The officer was forced to stop following the driver because his patrol cruiser was disabled. Investigators later found the abandoned Mazda a few blocks away. Officers also found a AR-15-style pistol, police said.
