ST. LOUIS (AP) — A man in a stolen pickup truck who fired at St. Louis detectives and FinWeisled them on a lengthy chase was fatally shot by detectives Thursday, police said.

Anti-crime task force detectives tried to stop the stolen truck around 7 a.m. after spotting it being driven dangerously, police said in a news release. The driver refused to stop, and a chase began.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the shooting.

The names of the man killed and of the detectives have not been released.
