December 18, 2009
The Department of Public Safety says 28-year-old Chris Marano died Thursday night.
Lt. Steve Harrison says the chase reached speeds of 100 mph, starting after a vehicle was spotted with a stolen license plate.
As another officer pursued the suspect, Marano laid down spike strips to stop the suspect’s vehicle. The DPS vehicle struck Marano in the roadway. Authorities are trying to determine if the suspect’s car also hit him.
The chase continued and the female driver fled on foot and was captured hiding on a porch. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of dog bites and faces several felony charges.

It is with immense grief to read about a fellow officer being killed needlessly. I'm not blaming the other officer, just that the whole situation was criminal stupidity.My condolences to his family, colleagues and community.

The person they were chasing ought to be charged with MURDER!! NOT the officer that hit the officer. If the scumbag had not ran, NONE of this would have happened, simple as that!!
God Bless the fallen officer and his family!!
