No way. Antioch is the safest city in the east bay. So safe we stopped public transmission of police scanners because there’s no crime in Antioch.
Has the suspect been caught?
The suspect died. He was shot – got in his car and took off

Thank goodness the police officer was around. I am glad he got him. Way to go APD. Poor hard working innocent man. I feel for his family. The thug that beat and shot the innocent man had a rap sheet.
