Shocking Footage Shows Man Ramming Car into His Mother during High-Speed Police Pursuit
Horrifying footage has captured the moment a man rammed his car into his own mother during a horror high-speed police pursuit. The suspect, identified as JaJuan Burley, 38, allegedly accelerated into his mother, Juanita Gray, 57, before becoming embroiled in a terrifying shootout with police on Friday morning in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The chaos erupted shortly before 10 am on Friday when the Fort Wayne Police Department began pursuing Burley after he refused to pull over. The suspect led the cops on a high-speed chase for around 20 minutes to his mother’s house, where an exchange reportedly occurred between him and Gray.
In the shocking footage, Gray can be seen trying to go back inside her house when her son accelerated his vehicle into her, grazing another car and sending her several feet into the air. Onlookers could be heard exclaiming in shock as the collision took place. The footage concludes with several gunshots ringing out, and Burley being struck by one of the shots.
Despite being alarmingly flung into the air by the impact, Gray refused medical treatment at the scene and is expected to make a full recovery. Both Burley and the officer he grazed reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident is currently under investigation, and the Fort Wayne Police Department claimed that Burley was shot because of the dangerous situation he created. Crime scene tape was seen around the home after the chaos concluded.
Burley has been charged with battery of a deadly weapon, attempted murder, disarming, resisting arrest in a vehicle, and criminal recklessness, with pending narcotics charges. Gray, on the other hand, faces charges of obstruction of justice, although further details regarding this charge have not been released.
The shocking footage of this incident has left the community in disbelief and raised questions about the escalation of violence in police pursuits. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that arise from high-speed chases and the potential devastation that can ensue.
As investigations continue, authorities will be working to understand the motives behind Burley’s actions and ensure that justice is served. The incident highlights the need for improved measures to address high-speed pursuits and prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future.
