DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A shooting early Monday left two Iowa police officers hospitalized and a suspect dead, Des Moines police said.
The encounter began around 1:40 a.m. when patrol officers tried to pull over a vehicle and the driver refused to stop. A chase ensued before the fleeing vehicle crashed a short time later, police said.
When officers approached the driver to arrest him, he pulled out a handgun and began shooting at them, police Sgt. Paul Parizek said. Several officers returned fire, hitting the man.
Two officers were shot and rushed to a hospital. Parizek said both are expected to survive. The man who was shot died, Parizek said.
Des Moines police and the Iowa Department of Public Safety are investigating.
