Both vehicles--very different from the distinctively styled Titan--were shot up, and there were some serious injuries.
I realize that sometimes things go very wrong in this line of work, but I think that a quick look at a suspect vehicle to find it's the wrong color, size, design, and manufacturer just might be possible.

Black and Royal Blue (very dark) are probably considered "assault colors" and, thus, invited an armed pre-emptive response.
Do you have links to support this story? I'm assuming it has something to do with the ex-COP from LA.
Royal, not Navy.
Better warn the fans of Notre Dame, Michigan, Yale, Ski U, Purdue, Da Bears, and such about this problem, eh? Especially if they're carrying an "assault baby" like Vicki Weaver did?
Yes, it's about the crazed ex-cop in LA. Just google "LA cops shoot wrong trucks".
