Suspect Wounded After High-Speed Purse Snatch Chase
Police captured two men after a high-speed chase that ended at 1:10. One suspect, L. Lewis, 22, was wounded in the neck and taken to Bexar County Hospital in poor condition. Gregory L.

Detectives pursued a car matching the description, stopped it after it became bogged in traffic, and a police officer shot when the suspect appeared to grasp a firearm.
