Connecticut police officers shot, suspect killed after attempted arrest sparks hectic chase

Two Connecticut police officers were shot, and a suspect was killed, after an attempted arrest led to a car chase and exchange of gunfire near Hartford late Friday, authorities said.

Hartford police officers were investigating what the department described as illegal activity at about 11:07 p.m., when a male suspect ran from the scene.

An officer chased the suspect and attempted to take him into custody. During a struggle, the officer felt what he believed was a gun in the suspect's waistband, according to Hartford police.
