A high-speed police pursuit in Longdenville early Friday morning ended in a fatal shooting after the driver of a Toyota Soluna reportedly pointed a firearm at officers following a crash.

It happened at around 12:05 a.m. along the Caparo Brasso Valley Road near Samirah’s Park, while officers were conducting a routine roadblock.

The suspect’s vehicle was seen reversing at high speed away from the checkpoint. Officers from the Central Division Task, driving a marked police vehicle, gave chase using sirens and lights in an attempt to intercept the fleeing vehicle.
