He stated that it was attempted that they bring the vehicle to a stop. “The automobile took off in a hurry.”
According to Kearns, the man led police officers from Pittsburgh on a high-speed automobile chase before crashing the Subaru and fleeing into the surrounding woods.
The location was encircled by police. After that, the suspect is believed to have retreated into a housing development, where he engaged the police in gunfire, according to the authorities. According to what they reported, Swan was pronounced deceased at the spot.
“We believe that is in fact the suspect we were seeking in the shooting of the police in Brackenridge this afternoon,” Kearns said. “Based on the description and the circumstances, we believe it is in fact the guy we were pursuing.”

Officer & Female Suspect Shot
According to a press statement from the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Police Department, an officer was hurt and a female suspect was killed in a shooting on December 14, 2022. The officer’s bulletproof vest came to his rescue. Cops said the suspect opened fire.
The Waukesha Police Department “responded to the 1500 blk of Oakdale Dr for a welfare check” at at 3:35 p.m. on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, according to a press release issued to Heavy by the department.
Unidentified suspect opened fire on the officer, who returned fire after being hit, according to the announcement. The shooting victim was one of two officers taken to the hospital. Here is the audio from dispatch.
Waukesha is a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the county seat of Waukesha County. Two police officers were shot and murdered in an unconnected incident in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, by veterinarian Amy Anderson, who then turned the pistol on herself. The cop is in stable condition and is anticipated to recover in Waukesha.
Officers Went Into The Basement To Check On The Female Suspect, When She Opened Fire, Police Say
According to the police press release, when officers arrived, the female suspect had barricaded herself in the basement. To deal with the tenant’s unpredictable behaviour, officers “met with the landlord who requested assistance from the police,” according to the release.
The landlord and the police were currently doing a house check. The announcement states that the female suspect opened fire on police as they entered the basement. There was a shooting in Waukesha, and one police officer was injured. The female suspect was shot by the victim officer who had fired back.
During a press conference, Captain Dan Baumann stated that it is unclear at this time whether or not the residence has previously been subject to well-being checks.
According to Baumann, the landlord called the police because she was worried about the woman’s “erratic, nonsensical thinking” and needed help keeping her and her tenants safe.
The number of times the police officer was hit by gunfire is unclear. There was a lot of confusion, he said. Baumann said the medical examiner’s office would decide if the woman was killed by police gunfire.
