The French Connection story

Gunfire erupts on the streets of Brooklyn as a police detective chases a fleeing suspect.

"I heard a gunshot go off then saw a man over a woman on the ground," said Rebecca Weilbrenner, an eye witness at the start of the event. "The man told everyone to get down and then ran off towards the train station."

The man was police detective James "Popeye" Doyle. The woman on the ground was Betty Badluck, she was killed by the shooter.

Doyle then commandeered a vehicle driving through as the shooter, identified as Pierre Nicoli, made a getaway on a train.

While on the train Nicoli shot a transit police officer named Sonny Grosso.

Doyle drove haphazardly after the train. As he doges across both lanes in pursuit of the train Doyle managed to: swideswipe a car, crash into a truck, almost hit a mother and her stroller, and crashes into a wall.
