--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
TODAY IN TALAT, WE HAVE POLICE CHASES (NATS - sirens) ...
AND BATHTUB RACES (NATS- woohoos) ...

FIRST, IN KANSAS CITY, A POLICE CHASE TURNED MORE DANGEROUS WHEN SUSPECTS OPENED FIRE ON OFFICERS.
DASHCAM CAPTURED THE CHASE, WHICH STARTED AS AN ATTEMPTED TRAFFIC STOP.
AS THE OFFICER PURSUES THE SUSPECTS, HE HEAR HEARS GUNSHOTS...
"I think they're shooting at me now"
THEN, MORE SHOTS RING OUT...
"they're firing! Get me cars now!"
"high caliber weapon! They're headed eastbound!"
THE CHASE CONTINUES, REACHING SPEEDS OF NEARLY 100 MILES PER HOUR.
NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE OFFICER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT BY THE GUNFIRE.
OTHER POLICE VEHICLES ENDED THE CHASE WITH A SKILLFUL PIT MANEUVER.
THREE SUSPECTS WERE ARRESTED AND WILL BE CHARGED.

AND NOW FOR A LESS-MENACING KIND OF ROAD RACE ...
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, START YOUR BATHTUBS!
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS, A BIZARRE BATHTUB RACING TRADITION HAS RETURNED TO MORAVIA, NEW YORK.
TEAMS RACE MODIFIED BATHTUBS ON WHEELS AS PART OF THE TOWN'S FILLMORE DAYS FESTIVAL.
THE ZANY TRADITION STARTED IN 1974, BUT WENT ON HIATUS AFTER A CRASH INJURED SOMEONE IN 1999.
LOCALS LOBBIED TO RETURN THE RACE TO THE FESTIVAL, BUT WITH SOME CHANGES TO INCREASE SAFETY.
INSTEAD OF RACING DOWNHILL, THE TUB TEAMS COMPETE ALONG A 300-FOOT, FLAT STRETCH...
AND STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEMS ARE NOW REQUIRED.
NOW THAT'S SOME GOOD, CLEAN FUN!
