Oregon State Police superintendent’s role in high-speed chase, shootout highly unusual, experts say
Oregon State Police Superintendent Casey Codding was driving south on Interstate 5 in an unmarked SUV when he heard over the police radio that the chase was on for the Amber Alert gunman suspected of fleeing a double murder with his 1-year-old son in tow.
Two state police cars racing behind the suspect’s car passed Codding on the freeway. Codding activated his interior emergency lights and joined in, becoming the third state police car tracking Elias Huizar along I-5 on Tuesday afternoon.
