PITTSBURGH — A small-town police chief was gunned down Monday afternoon outside Pittsburgh, and the suspect was shot and killed hours later in another exchange of gunfire with law enforcement, authorities said.
Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire and an officer from nearby Tarentum, Pennsylvania, confronted a man who police in Allegheny County had been seeking since he fled a traffic stop the previous night.
The Tarentum officer was shot and wounded. McIntire was shot in the head and died at the scene, officials said.
