DULUTH, Minn. (KFGO) – The St. Louis County Sheriff’s office and Duluth police say two shootings Tuesday are believed to be connected.
Officers first found 33-year-old Darius Handy of Duluth dead from gunshot wounds.
Police say he was shot by a suspect firing from a vehicle while Handy was stopped at an intersection. About five hours later, a sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a reckless driver. The vehicle fled, and a second deputy used a pit maneuver to stop the vehicle.
Sheriff Gordon Ramsay says gunfire was exchanged after the car spun out. The driver, the only person in the vehicle, was shot and killed at the scene. Two deputies fired their weapons. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting with the investigation.
