Witnesses said the gunman was waving at other motorists as he drove south on the 15 with a phalanx of law enforcement vehicles — including Bianco’s — on his tail.
At least one of the tires was flattened, but McKay kept driving. He headed south on the 15, where he crashed at Fifth Street. Officers rammed the pickup with an armored vehicle and exchanged gunfire with McKay, killing him, Bianco said.
The southbound 15 was shut down at Sixth Street, where motorists were detoured off the freeway, resulting in a miles-long traffic jam, stretching all the way back into San Bernardino.
