David Proeber, a photo editor at the Pantagraph in Bloomington, Illinois, became an unwitting participant in a police chase and shootout as he searched for a suspected robber on the interstate highway.
Proeber stopped his car in the opposite lanes where police were chasing the suspect when as he approached Proeber’s car from the other direction he stopped, leaped the concrete median wall and carrying a gun began to run through traffic towards the photographer’s car. Proeber continued to shoot until he realized he wasn’t sure what the suspect intended or he might become involved in the chase.
He sped away to a position about 150 away when he heard shots and turned to see police shooting at the suspect.
Proeber returned to the scene where he photographed the suspect being handcuffed lying in the middle of the interstate highway.
What Proeber thought he would get nothing more than a series of photos of speeding cars passing by on the other side of a concrete divider. The result is certainly more than what was anticipated.
