VILLA RICA, Ga. -- Three officers were shot in a police chase that ended early Monday with one suspect killed and another in custody, authorities said.
A Georgia State Patrol trooper clocked a car going 111 mph (179 kph) on Interstate 20 and initiated a traffic stop around 3:30 a.m., Georgia State Patrol Capt. Brandon Dawson said. The driver stopped initially and then took off again with the trooper in pursuit. The trooper bumped the car to try to stop it but the driver of the car regained control, Dawson said.
The trooper continued pursuing the vehicle until a passenger used a rifle to fire at the patrol car and hit it, taking it out of action.
Police officers from Carrollton then joined the chase. At some point, a passenger leaned out and fired a shot into a police vehicle, hitting an officer, Carrollton Police Chief Joel Richards said. The officer lost control of his vehicle and hit a utility pole. Other officers stopped to help him.
The suspect continued on and Villa Rica police officers pursued the car down a side road, Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour said. Shots were fired at the officers and one officer was hit twice, he said.
A Carroll County sheriff's deputy was also shot in the arm, Sheriff Terry Langley said.
One suspect was killed and the other was taken into custody “after a negotiation” and was being held in the Carroll County jail, Langley said.

“after a negotiation” ...................
Example #3,987,456 of why cops get jittery when people don’t follow their commands during ‘routine’ traffic stops, particularly at night.
The next car you pull over can always be the last car you pull over.
Aw you beat me to it.
This is what you get when you show leftists and criminals there are no consequences for their crimes. Also, this is what happens when the media defends obvious criminals against the police.
I don’t see how it doesn’t continue to devolve from here.
Check back tomorrow for another episode of “When God Judges a Nation”.
Officers already shot up and still there’s negotiations? THAT’S magnanimous.

Bingo! And that includes the latest hero of the leftist media:
This is all the fault of demoncrats who spent all last year encouraging and enabling violence.
Gotta be fast!.....................
Love that scene. Great movie, just visually stunning.
That must be from an old movie... Bruce has hair.

Odd that reports of firearm misuse have, or seem to have, gone up exponentially since 1/20/2021.
Ha, I should have known.
NOT hanging, uh, placing an air freshener on the rear view while driving? 😨
That’s a pretty broad brush. True enough, any interaction is a potential danger. That said, the 99.997% of folks directed to pull over do so and all is well. It’s always the .007% that speed off, fight and do unlawful violence.
To characterize all interactions as you do is part of the problem.
Yes - "REPORTS".
It's almost like someone is pushing an agenda, isn't it?
