Robert Sylvester jumps a highway media after waving his gun at police on of I-55/74 in Normal, Illinois, Monday, January 5, 2009. Sylvester was shortly shot by police. He is a suspect in the robbery of Check 'n Go at Market and Hinshaw Streets in Bloomington, Illinois, police said. The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Sylvester led police on a high speed chase from Lexington to I-39 before he stopped on I-55/74 just north of Normal Community West High School in Normal. Sylvester was listed in critical condition at a Bloomington hospital (AP photo, The Pantagraph, David Proeber)

Photographer's account of it where.

With all the recent talk about copyright infringement on this forum and you being a photographer yourself, shouldn't you provide a link to the image page instead of hot linking them here on this board? This post and the other post listed above.
