Texas — Shell casings found at the scene of a car chase and police shootout in Texas appear to match casings from the killing of Colorado’s prisons chief, adding more credence to theory that a former Colorado inmate was behind both outbreaks of deadly violence.
The gunman in the Texas shootout Thurday died later at a hospital. Police have tentatively identified him as Colorado parolee Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, though his identify still is being confirmed by fingerprint analysis.
The shootout followed a harrowing 100-mph car chase with police. The black Cadillac driven by Ebel, with Colorado license plates, matched the description of a car spotted outside Colorado Corrections director Tom Clements’ home in Monument, Colo., just before he was shot and killed while answering his front door Tuesday evening.
