The ordeal began around 5:30 p.m. on the 100 block of Milton Avenue when officers recognized the 40-year-old man wanted on a warrant, Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said in a press conference.
The man tried to flee, but his car broke down near Fairmount Avenue. That's when the man fired an automatic weapon at police, and struck a patrol vehicle, Worley said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the commissioner. No officers were injured.
