Houston
Suspect dances before
police dog ends jig
A man who led police on a
nearly 20-mile chase through
Houston was taken into custody
only after dancing for a time
once he stepped out of his car.
The unidentified suspect
came to a stop early Thursday
before striking spike strips po-
lice had laid across Interstate 45.
He eventually complied with
police orders to step out of his
car but rather than lay on the
ground the man began a dance
with arms held high.
The episode concluded when
a police dog attacked him.
Police Lt. Larry Crowson says
officers were concerned the man
might try to flee into traffic, so
they unleashed the dog.

Aubrey woman
dies in car crash
A three-car crash near Kram
on Thursday morning resulted
in the death of 48-year-old Au-
brey resident Sandra Sanders,
according to authorities.
The crash occurred about 7
a.m. at FMU73 and Lovers Lane,
about 2 miles from Kram city
limits in unincorporated Den-
ton County. A 41-year-old Kram
woman was driving a 2000
Cadillac Escalade west on FM
1173 followed by a 2014 Ford Fi-
esta, according to Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety spokes-
man Lonny Haschel.
At the time, Sanders was driv-
ing a 2002 Saturn Ion in the east-
bound lane at the time, he said.
When the Cadillac slowed to
make a left turn onto Lovers
Lane, the 22-year-old male driver
of the Ford Fiesta didn't control
the vehicle's speed "for an unde-
termined reason" and struck the
Cadillac, Haschel said in an email.
The force of the crash pushed the
Cadillac into the eastbound lane,
where it struck Sanders's vehicle.
Sanders was pronounced
dead on the scene, while the
driver of the Cadillac was taken
to Medical City Denton with se-
rious injuries, Haschel said. The
driver of the Ford Fiesta did not
have serious injuries.
The Texas Department of
Public Safety is leading the on-
going investigation.

Cornyn files bipartisan bill on
federal background checks
2 men charged in
shooting deaths of
2 North Texas teens
By Claire Allbright
The Texas Tribune
AUSTIN - U.S. Sen. John
Cornyn announced the release
of bipartisan legislation Thurs-
day aimed at strengthening the
federal background check data-
base following the recent mass
shooting in Sutherland Springs.
The Texas Republican’s bill,
known as the Fix NICS Act, tries
to ensure federal and state au-
thorities accurately report rele-
vant information, including
criminal history, to the National
Instant Criminal Background
Check System.
“For years, agencies and states
haven’t complied with the law,
failing to upload these critical re-
cords without consequence,”
Cornyn said in a statement
The NICS database is main-
tained by the FBI and used to
determine if a prospective gun
buyer has a criminal record or is
ineligible to purchase a firearm.
The database became the focus
of national attention earlier this
month after a man fired an as-
sault rifle at a small church dur-
ing Sunday morning services,
killing 26 people and injuring
scores others. After the shoot-
ing, the U.S. Air Force disclosed
that it failed to report the gun-
man’s history of domestic as-
sault to the database, which
should have prohibited him
from purchasing a firearm.
Comyn’s bill requires federal
agencies and states to draft
plans for how to better report
background information to
NICS thoroughly and accurate-
ly. It also includes a provision to
allocate resources to states to
help them report felony and do-
CORRECTION
CROWLEY (AP) -
Crowley pohce announced
Thursday that two Fort
Worth men
have been
charged in
the August
shooting
deaths of
two teen-
agers
whose bod-
ies were
found near
a North
Texas road.
Kyle
Mathis
Otey and
Shailen Al-
exander
Chowdhu-
ry, both 20, were charged
with capital murder of multi-
ple persons in the shooting
deaths of 19-year-old Mat-
thew Lemus and 17-year-old
Edgar Ramirez, both of
Crowley. The two men turned
themselves in and each post-
ed $100,000 bond Wednes-
day, pohce said.
Pohce responded to a call
on Aug. 5 about two bodies in
public. Officers found the two
teens, who an autopsy later
determined had died from
shotgun wounds.
Lt. Robert Gray said the
department would not re-
lease additional details or in-
terviews out of respect for the
victims’ families.
He also said attorney in-
formation for Otey and
Chowdhury was not available
Thursday.
Arrest warrant affidavits
for Otey and Chowdhury is-
sued Nov. 8, show police be-
lieve the murders happened
during a drag deal, when the
two deceased men planned to
rob Chowdhury.
Officers used Ramirez’s
phone to see he had been text-
ing a number they said
belonged to Chowdhury to
arrange for a drag deal. Offi-
cers said friends of the two
teens told them in interviews,
that the two had intended to
rob Chowdhury.
According to the police
narrative, friends of Chowd-
hury said Otey had fronted
him some marijuana a few
days earlier and Chowdhury
had been robbed by a differ-
ent individual on Aug. 3.
On Aug. 5, prior to the ar-
ranged meeting time, Otey,
Chowdhury and another
friend had driven around
searching for the individual
who had robbed Chowdhury
and according to friends had
a shotgun and other weapons
in the car.
Pohce did not say in the
narrative whether they be-
lieve Ramirez and Lemus fol-
lowed through on the plan to
rob Chowdhury.
Pohce searched Otey’s
house and were unable to lo-
cate the shotgun or the car
they were allegedly driving.
On Page 1A Thursday, a
photo caption about the number
of medallions being placed on
the walls underneath the North
Texas Boulevard bridge along
Interstate 35E was incorrect.
There will be four medallions
two featuring the University of
North Texas and two featuring
the Denton County Courthouse
on the Square.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, speaks to the media Sunday as
people leave the temporary First Baptist Church at a baseball
field after a service in Sutherland Springs. The church was the
site of a shooting that killed 26 people and left 30 injured.

“Just one record that’s not
properly reported can lead to
tragedy, as the country saw last
week in Sutherland Springs,
Texas,” Cornyn said. “This bill
aims to help fix what’s become a
nationwide, systemic problem
so we can better prevent crimi-
nals and domestic abusers from
obtaining firearms.”
To hold agencies account-
able, Comyn’s office said the bill
sets up a system of incentives for
agencies that comply and penal-
ties for those that fail to.
The bipartisan effort was in-
troduced by Cornyn along with
U.S. Sens. Chris Murphy, D-
Connecticut, Tim Scott, R-

Hatch, R-Utah, Dianne Fein-
