Two Connecticut<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The suspect managed to get into a car and drive away, prompting officers to chase him through the city as information about the vehicle was shared with surrounding police departments.<\/p>\n

The chase eventually reached Webster Court in Newington, a town south of Hartford near the Rocky Hill town line.<\/p>\n

After the suspect got out of the car, there was an exchange of gunfire that left two officers wounded and the suspect dead, police said.<\/p>\n

The wounded officers were identified as Hartford Police Officer Alex Diaz and Rocky Hill Police Officer Jon Escobar.<\/p>\n

Both officers were taken to a hospital following the shooting and were later released, according to local authorities.<\/p>\n

Hartford police said Diaz was released from the hospital Saturday and was recovering at home.<\/p>\n

A gun was recovered at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not publicly identified the suspect or provided additional details about the activity Hartford officers were investigating before the attempted arrest.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding the exchange of gunfire, including which officers fired their weapons, remain under investigation.<\/p>\n

The Connecticut Office of Inspector General is investigating the use of deadly force.<\/p>\n

Hartford police referred Fox News Digital’s questions about the investigation to the Office of Inspector General.<\/p>\n

The Office of Inspector General did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
