A suspect was shot and killed in Delaware County on Saturday after a police pursuit ended with an officer-involved shooting and one officer being shot.
The incident began around 3:30 p.m. in Chester, Pennsylvania.
Police say officers were pursuing a suspect vehicle that was believed to be involved in another shooting.
The pursuit led officers from Chester into Upland, then back into Chester where the driver of the suspect vehicle crashed on West 14th Street and Arbor Drive.
A shooting broke out between police and the suspect after the crash, officials say.
“The police officer was trying to stop a vehicle that needed to be stopped from a prior incident. As he attempted to pull that vehicle over, the vehicle driver got out of the car shooting his gun, firing at the police officer. The police officer returned fire, the officer was wounded,” said District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer on the incident.
The officer involved in this shooting, identified as Detective Steve Byrne from Chester, was shot twice in the stomach, sources say.
