A three-year-old girl died Saturday after a man and police engaged in
a chase and gun-battle, said police in Prince George's County,
Maryland.
Police spokesman Lt. Bill Alexander said police began pursuing the man
early in the afternoon when he drove a Nissan Maxima away from the
scene of a shooting in Temple Hills.
One of the wheels fell off the suspect's car and he stopped and
exchanged gunfire with police, Alexander said.

The suspect kept driving but stopped again and traded gunfire with
police a second time.
The man was killed in the second exchange, Alexander said. Inside the
vehicle, police found the wounded 3-year-old, who later died,
Alexander said.
Police said they don't know who fired the bullets that killed the man
or the girl. CNN affiliate WJLA said police believe the man was the
girl's father.
Two wounded people were found at the scene of the first shooting -- the
3-year-old's maternal grandfather and maternal great-grandmother,
police said. They were in critical condition at hospitals, Alexander
said.
