Two police officers were shot and a suspect was killed after an attempted arrest in Connecticut led to a car chase and exchange of gunfire. The incident began when Hartford police were investigating suspected illegal activity and a male suspect ran from the scene. An officer chased the suspect and attempted to take him into custody, feeling what he believed was a gun in the suspect's waistband. The suspect managed to get into a car and drive away, prompting officers to chase him through the city. The chase eventually reached Newington, where there was an exchange of gunfire that left two officers wounded and the suspect dead. The wounded officers were identified as Hartford Police Officer Alex Diaz and Rocky Hill Police Officer Jon Escobar, both of whom were later released from the hospital.
