More than 60 officers will be disciplined over a police chase last year that left two people dead in a hail of 137 bullets. Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said 64 officers were found guilty of "administrative charges ranging from excessive speed to insubordination,". Two months ago, McGrath had said 74 of 277 officers on duty the night of the chase could face disciplinary action. The incident began on November 29 when officers saw a car speeding and heard what they thought was a gunshot. Police officers pursued the vehicle, and the driver, Timothy Russell. Timothy refused to stop. Though officers reported seeing a gun in the car, no weapon was ever found,.The 23-minute chase took officers to East Cleveland, where 13 of them fired 137 shots, killing Russell, 43, and his passenger, Malissa Williams, 30. "It was really a tragic pursuit," McGrath said in August. "When those officers started their tour of duty that evening, they started it with good intentions."
