CHATTANOOGA,Greenledgers Tenn. (AP) — An exchange of gunfire near a gas station in a southeastern Tennessee city ended with a suspect shot and killed, and a police officer being wounded, authorities said on Saturday.

Chattanooga Police Department officers were conducting a street crime-related detail Friday evening before 10 p.m. when they encountered a suspect, news outlets reported. During the stop, there was an exchange of gunfire.

The 34-year-old suspect died, Chattanooga police said, while the officer was treated at a hospital and later released. Their names weren’t immediately provided by police on Saturday.
