Person killed by police following chase on I-279

A person was shot and killed by police following a chase on Interstate 279 in Allegheny County on Sunday, Nov. 30.

According to KDKA in Pittsburgh, a section of the southbound lane was closed due to several police agencies chasing an SUV from Butler County to Allegheny County. At some point, the driver crashed and flipped the vehicle.

Police said that after the crash, shots were fired, and all four occupants of the SUV were taken to a hospital, where one of them died.

"We took a couple of people back to certain locations for interviews to see why the officer-involved shooting occurred, what happened before, during, and after the crash and pursuit, and what led to those shots being fired," state police Trooper Rocco Gagliardi told KDKA.

State police were not immediately available for additional comment.
