Authorities say a man was killed during a shootout after leading Alaska State Troopers and other officers on a chase that closed a 7-mile stretch of highway
A man was killed during a shootout after leading Alaska State Troopers and other officers on a chase that closed a 7-mile stretch of highway, authorities said. It was the second fatal shooting involving troopers this week. Troopers on Thursday identified the man killed a day earlier as Michael Grimes, 45, of Fairbanks.
Authorities used spike strips and other techniques to eventually stop the vehicle, at which time there was “an additional exchange of gunfire between law enforcement officers and the suspect,” the department said. Grimes was declared dead at the scene. There were no injuries reported among law enforcement officers or the woman in Grimes' vehicle. The department said the woman was arrested on a weapons charge. It was not immediately clear who fired the fatal shot or shots.
