Details continue to emerge surrounding a deadly, multi-county RV chase that ended in flames early Thursday morning in Arlington.
But as we learn more about the suspect and his relationship with a woman and kids who were in the car during the chase, the incident also shed light on a relatively little-known fact: In many counties, you can text 911.
Candie Price, who was with Tony Kelly, Sr. inside a Winnebago RV during the police pursuit early Thursday, texted 911 saying she had been shot. A log of the text conversation shows her giving a dispatcher location information and even pleading that police “please kill him [Kelly].”
In Texas, nearly 200 police departments in dozens of counties offer 911 texting, according to a Federal Communications Commission document.
