A Missouri couple sought for crimes in four states was shot in a hail of gunfire in the Florida Panhandle early today. Blake Fitzgerald was killed; Brittany Harper was wounded, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
The shooting followed a massive manhunt that started in Escambia County and ended in Santa Rosa County. There was a car chase, then a foot chase, and another car chase. A barrage of gunfire erupted off Garcon Point and Saragon Lane in Santa Rosa County just before 1:30 a.m.
U.S. Marshals say Fitzgerald was pronounced dead on the scene. Harper was reportedly wounded in her legs and was being transported to a local hospital.
Vestavia Hills police Lt. Kevin York said he received the information from the USMS, and is still waiting to get details. "It's unfortunate it ended this way, but that was their decision instead of surrendering," York said.
