Shots were fired Friday night during a pursuit in Normangee involving a DWI suspect accused of stealing a state trooper's patrol vehicle.

The suspect has been identified as 31 year old Bridget Cast of Longview.

According to a Department of Public Safety supervisor on the scene, it all started with a traffic stop on the east side of Normangee on OSR.

Cast was taken into custody for allegedly driving while intoxicated, placed in handcuffs, and was temporarily seated in the front seat of the trooper's vehicle.

When the trooper stepped out of his patrol car, the woman managed to get her hands from behind her back to the front of her body, and hopped in the driver's seat of the patrol car while still in handcuffs.

Troopers say after she drove away, she was pursued by the trooper and a Madison County Sheriff's Office deputy who was also there assisting with the traffic stop.

During the pursuit, the trooper fired several shots, but nobody was hit or injured. A spokesperson for DPS says the shots were fired to disable the fleeing vehicle.

The stolen vehicle was eventually stopped, three miles later, on E. Main Street near OSR, and cast was taken into custody.
