Oregon State Police superintendent on paid leave after firing during Amber Alert chase

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After an Amber Alert suspect led a high-speed chase on Interstate 5, two Oregon State Police troopers are on paid administrative leave for firing their weapons mid-pursuit – including the department’s top official.

Superintendent Casey Codding fired his gun Tuesday afternoon while tracking Elias Huizar, the man who led a multi-state search after police said he murdered two women in Washington and fled the state with his 1-year-old son.
