Winfield officers arrived to check out a suspicious person in a car. Police say an "African Male" exited the vehicle but quickly ran and led police on a foot chase into a wooded area nearby. Police say the suspect was armed, and they later discovered a stolen gun in the vehicle. They believed the suspect was surrounded and resumed the manhunt after backup officers and helicopter for aerial vision arrived. When the suspect was relocated, he allegedly fired shots, and officers returned fire striking the suspect and killing him.
