Excerpt:

Texas state police stated Friday they have actually asked for a federal examination of a chase in which a trooper fired on a fleeing pickup truck from a helicopter, resulting in the deaths of 2 Guatemalan immigrants who were hiding in the bed. The Texas Department of Public Safety has actually stated troopers believed drugs were concealed under a sheet in the truck's bed when the shots were fired during the pursuit. Instead, there were 9 Guatemalans in the truck, consisting of 6 under the slab, and a 14-year-old motorist. DPS director Steve McCraw stated in a declaration Friday that he had asked the FBI and U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division to check out the occurrence. The Texas Rangers, a world-class device within DPS, had led the examination of the shooting. McCraw stated they will turn over their completed examination and evidence to government authorities.
