17. of Seaforth. He and:a
small group of teenagers
were watching the. incident as
it unfolded. from, the south

Price.

"Shots Fired at Car
"We took cover after the
gunshots." said Curtis
Castello. 17. of Seafurth. He

walking where they were.
they would have been hit by
vehicles.
One member of the TRU
(tactical response unitl

car, according to Price. Then
TRU officers pulled Miller
out through the driver's side
window, he said.
According to senior consta-
ble Burgess. two rubber bul-
lets were fired at•Miller's car
-before he was arrested. •He
• said -this was 'a normal tactic
to Cause noise. and confusion.
Burgess confirmed Miller's
title was loaded and ammuni-
tion was found in the car.
Jon ri3jerg. t7, who lives at
1 11 ,Goderieb St. 'East. was
standing in .the back yard of
his neighbour's when he saw
the car move •from Li:uns
'Park.
'I said 'tae's moving, he's
moving' The two officers in
the Suburban staved toward
Pae park. There was nothing
on the (polies) radio." said
Bjerg. "There were a iot,of
bullets. 1,hesrd them bounce
off the ear. They ramnted.it
anti it spun around facing
back at the park. The driver
(Miller) had an amazing look
om fiis face.' like he .was on a
Sunday drive." he said. Bjerg
said he watched as members
of the TRU ran across the
yard shooting. " 1 saw smoke
come out of their guns.'.
Brian Wilson. who towed
away Miller's car. said there
were no bullet holes in it. •
Jon's fattier. John •Bjerg.

us all. We were petrified:','
He said his son was talking
on the .portable phone to
CKNX radio Juring the chase
and apprehension of •Millar.
His eye -witness account
wasn't broadcast live. it' was
taped by the station.

her car was unexpectedly
caught in the middle of the
mini -chase and fortunately
avoided a col{ision. `tShc
came out of the hospital in
font of him (Miller) around
Alkemade's old place and
was driving slow.. -He tried to
pass bar and 'the van nailed
him, he said. "i ;think she
floored it.then."
.Bjerg ,commented that

gunman's car by placing ,a
spiked belt atross;the roadie
cause a blow-out 'before .he
reaehed.the heripital.
Asfor the gunfire, the older
