CLEVELAND, Texas — A man was shot and killed by police following a high-speed chase in Cleveland, according to police.
It started when the Cleveland Police Department was responding to reports of a stolen vehicle. When they arrived on scene, police say the suspect fled southbound on I-69 at speeds over 100 miles per hour.
The suspect then turned around and went northbound at high speeds and was driving erratically, police say.
The suspect hit spikes, causing the vehicle to lose its tires and crash into a construction area. Police say the suspect then got out of the car and took off.
As the suspect exited the vehicle, police say he had a handgun and attempted to head into the woods when the shooting occurred.
Two Cleveland PD officers shot at the suspect. Police say the suspect was pronounced dead on the scene.
No officers were injured and the Cleveland Police Department is currently investigating.
