Two Bounty Hunters, One Fugitive Fatally Shoot Each Other At Dallas Car Dealership (VIDEO)

DALLAS, TX — Two bounty hunters and the Minnesota fugitive they were tracking shot each other to death in a hail of bullets that sent people running for cover at a Texas car dealership this week, officials said Wednesday.

The two bounty hunters followed Ramon Michael Hutchinson, 49, to a car dealership in Greenville, a suburb of Dallas located some 50 miles northeast of the big city. The fugitive had been sought since March when he failed to appear at a court hearing near Minneapolis, according to an Associated Press report.

A resident of St. Paul, Minn., Hutchinson faced several charges that included assaulting a law enforcement officer, according to the report.

It unclear what brought the fugitive to Texas, but a woman associated with him had her car at the Nissan dealership, the AP noted. After waiting hours for Hutchinson to show up, the two bounty hunters drew their weapons before the fugitive also drew fire from his own pistol, according to a city spokeswoman.

The ensuing six-minute volley of bullets sent customers and employees of the dealership running for cover, the AP reported. All three men died at the scene, and no other injuries were reported.

Some media outlets, including the Dallas Morning News, have released video footage of the deadly gun play. Watch it below, but be warned it may be too disturbing for some sensibilities:

The AP noted this is the second time in the span of one month that violence has erupted when private groups attempt to apprehend fugitives. Seven people described as bounty hunters shot at four people in a car April 23 in Clarksville, Tenn., killing one man and injuring another.

The group of men targeted the wrong vehicle and all seven have been indicted on first-degree murder charges, as no one in the car was wanted on outstanding charges, the AP reported.
