MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Mobile police say an officer was driving 43 mph in a 35-mph zone while responding to a report of gunshots when his patrol car collided with two pedestrians, killing one of them and seriously injuring his wife.
Mobile Police Chief Micheal Williams said Officer Richard Brown was responding to a report of shots fired when he hit Michael Bragg and his wife, Mary, as they crossed a street Friday night.
Williams said Brown didn't see the couple until it was too late. He said the police department used the GPS unit in Brown's patrol car to pinpoint his speed.
WALA-TV reports (http://bit.ly/pfSOGT) that Brown remains on paid administrative leave.
Police said the Braggs are from Overland Park, Kan., and were on their way to Florida when they stopped in Mobile.
