Inmates shoot officer,
escape from patrol car
HOUSTON (AP) — Broken
handcuffs allowed an inmate to
break free inside a moving squad
car, grab a police officer’s gun and
wound the officer with gunfire, po
lice said Tuesday.
After officer Dennis Nelius was
shot, his unmarked squad car went
out of control and collided with a
pickup truck on a freeway in Hous
ton, Sgt. David Calhoun said.
Calhoun said authorities have not
determined what caused the hand
cuffs’ failure, after which Nelius was
shot in the left leg and right hand.
The officer lost the ends of two
fingers when his .357-caliber Mag
num revolver fired as he held his
hand over the barrel.
His partner — David Baskin —
suffered minor injuries in the traffic
accident.

same time. As the car continued to
move, both officers climbed into the
back seat to retrieve the pistol.
“They figured the gun is more im
portant than trying to keep control
of the vehicle," Calhoun said.
The gun fired during the strug
gle, and the bullet struck Nelius’ left
thigh after mangling his lingers.
The car then collided with a truck.
Ozuna had been charged earlier
with delivery of a controlled sub
stance and was being held without
bail because he was on probation
from a 1984 conviction of indecency
with a child.
Houston police spokesman Dan
Turner said the officers, both mem
bers of the Northwest Tactical Re
sponse Unit, bought a large amount
of cocaine from two men earlier
Monday and had taken them first to
the northwest station.
They were transporting the two to
the city jail downtown when the
shooting and accident took place.

child. Police said he faces a charge of
attempted capital murder of a police
officer.
A second suspect riding in the
squad car—Jose Antonio Gallegos,
22 — was taken into custody near
the scene more than an hour later.
He was charged earlier Monday with
possession of a controlled substance
with bond set at $5,000.
