Texas police officer terminated after shooting at suspect 41 times

GARLAND, Texas A Texas police officer has been fired from the force after the death of a suspect he'd shot at more than three dozen times.

Patrick Tuter was terminated from the Garland Police Department for violating department pursuit and use of force policies.

Tuter had tried to pull over Michael Vincent Allen on August 31 last year, but Allen refused to stop leading to a 30-minute car chase.

Tuter shot at Allen 41 times during the chase. Three shots hit Allen and he died at the scene.

Tuter said he feared for his life during the chase but investigators determined it was Tuter who slammed into Allen's pickup.
