A carjacking suspect wanted by US Parkway Police was spotted by a Virginia State Police trooper at round 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday night driving south on I-95, which led to a lengthy police pursuit when the driver refused to stop.
During the pursuit, the suspect - who has not been identified - struck a Virginia State Police vehicle, causing it to overturn, and it continued on until they were able to force the driver to stop.
According to a state police spokesperson, during that stop, the driver continued to refuse to comply with troopers' commands, and the driver then "made multiple abrupt furtive movements with his hands, causing state troopers on scene to utilize their duty weapons."
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was flown to Fairfax Hospital and was listed in stable condition and awaiting surgery on Thursday. A third passenger is in police custody.
Four troopers involved in the officer-involved shooting have been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation into the incident.
