SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy was killed near the central Washington town of Kittitas and a police officer was shot and wounded after they exchanged gunfire with a road rage suspect.

The events unfolded Tuesday evening when the two officers tried to stop the suspect’s vehicle after authorities received a complaint about the motorist’s driving.

The suspect, who has not been identified, was chased by police until the driver stopped the car near Kittitas. He got out and exchanged gunfire with the sheriff’s deputy and the police officer.

Sheriff’s deputy Ryan Thompson, 42, was killed and Kittitas police officer Benito Chavez, 22, was shot in the leg and suffered a shattered femur.

The suspect died at a hospital and authorities were still trying to identify him.

Thompson joined the sheriff’s department in 2013 and is survived by his wife and three children.

It was the first fatal shooting of a law enforcement officer in the rural county in 92 years.

Authorities have no other information besides the road rage incident for what might have prompted the suspect to flee and exchange gunfire with the officers.
