BUFFALO, N.Y.—A driver accused of shooting at police officers during a long car chase through the streets of Buffalo that ended with an exchange of gunfire was arraigned Wednesday on five counts of attempted murder.
The wild March 29 chase resulted in three officers being struck, along with the suspect, Kente Bell. An investigation by the district attorney’s office found that two of those officers were hit by friendly fire, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said at a news conference announcing the charges.
