COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tense and dangerous moments early Sunday morning after law officers from Columbia and Maury County chased a man who reportedly fired shots at police.

The wild pursuit ended on Trotwood Avenue in Columbia, when officers hit the fleeing car and it crashed in a ditch.

Much of the action was captured on video by homeowner, Ron Miller. The 43-year-old father of two told News 2 the sounds of sirens around 4 a.m. woke him. When they entered his property, he came out on his front porch and began recording.

He pointed to some car parts on his lawn and a torn-apart tire that was on his front grass. “It was wild, I could not believe it was happening there,” said Miller.

The chase involved a man now identified as Devin Rice, 26, from Hampshire.

“He had a gun evidently, he could have done some damage,” said Miller. “Glad they got him.”

Video supplied to News 2 by Miller shows the last moments of the pursuit as more than half a dozen squad cars, lights swirling, chased Rice.

Almost directly in front of Miller’s house, you can see a unit speed up and make contact with Rice’s vehicle. A few seconds later, you can hear what appears to be two gunshots.
