CHICAGO - A 42-year-old woman was killed this morning when two drug suspects fleeing police crashed their vehicle into hers, police said. The two suspects are in custody. The sequence of events that included several crashes began with a traffic stop in the Woodlawn neighborhood about 7 a.m. by Chicago police and federal Drug Enforcement Agency officers. Several officers riding in two cars got out of their vehicles at 63rd Street and King Drive and approached a minivan with two male suspects inside, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez. At that point, the van's driver put the van into reverse and tried to run over the officers, Perez said. The officers were not hurt. But both police vehicles were rammed. One of the officers fired a single shot at the van but missed, Perez continued.

These two pieces of cowpies should have everything on the books thrown at them above all Manslaughter and death by vehicular cause along with drugs. My heart goes out to the family of the woman who died at the hands of these pieces of crap.
