Police officers who pursued vehicles that killed three people in two separate crashes used proper judgment and followed department procedures, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said Saturday.
University of Wisconsin-Madison student Shanica Adkins, 21, was killed Thursday when the Geo Prizm driven by her high school sweetheart, Donta Brown, was struck by an SUV that ran a red light at N. Sherman Blvd. and W. Center St. The suspects in the Mercury Mountaineer that killed Adkins were fleeing police, who had attempted to pull the SUV over because it was missing a front license plate.
