WOODWORTH, N.D. (AP-CSi) — Law officers have shot and killed a man after authorities say he fired at police during a chase in south-central North Dakota.
Jamestown (CSi) Law enforcement confirms that late Wednesday morning a pursuit conducted by the Jamestown Police Department and Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office led to the fatal shooting of the suspect
Police Department Assistant Police Chief Major John Johnson, tells CSiNewsNow.com that the pursuit started in Jamestown and began when a police officer identified the suspect as driving under suspension. The pursuit was called off by Jamestown police northwest of Jamestown and continued by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect shot at pursuing Sheriff’s Office vehicles during the pursuit.
The report says the suspect’s vehicle became stuck in an area north of Medina, near Woodworth with the suspect then attempting to flee on foot, showing a weapon, and shots were fired, when a deputy and two police officers returned fire at the suspect, wounding the individual.
The report from Sheriff Chad Kaiser was that the suspect who is believed to be in his mid twenties, was killed. His name and home town were not immediately available.
He reports that no law enforcement officers were hurt.
An internal and external investigation will be conducted, as is the policy concerning an officer-involved shooting.
Medina Ambulance Service responded to the area where the pursuit ended.
Medina Public School went into lockdown after being notified of the incident shortly before 2:30 p.m., and remained locked down for about 15 minutes until notified by the sheriff’s office calling a short time later, saying any threat was removed.
The investigation continues as the Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting.

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — About 500 Leon High School students and parents waited for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students to arrive and applauded as they got off the bus from Broward County.
Stoneman Douglas senior Diego Pfeiffer was one of the students to address the crowd Tuesday night. He thanked his Tallahassee counterparts as a group of Broward County students stood behind him on the school steps.
Pfeiffer said, “This isn’t about school shootings. This isn’t about violence anymore. This is about hope. This is about moving forward.”
The students plan to march to the capital Wednesday morning for a series of meeting with lawmakers and a rally calling for a change gun laws.
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — When two teenagers slaughtered 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado 19 years ago, young people across the country discovered the news the old-fashioned way: largely on television and in newspapers. It took days, if not weeks, to process the information and learn the full, horrific story.
When a gunman killed 17 people at a Florida high school last week, youngsters around the globe watched the terrifying video and accounts unfold almost in real time, via social media.
Experts say the imagery could scar young people psychologically. But it could also galvanize them. Already, students are demanding politicians act to prevent a repeat of such bloodshed.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says it is moving quickly with its review of “bump stock” devices after President Donald Trump directed the agency to propose regulations banning them.
The devices allow semi-automatic rifles to fire faster and were used in last year’s Las Vegas massacre.
The Justice Department in December announced it was reviewing whether bump stocks are prohibited under federal law banning fully automatic weapons. The department said Tuesday it “understands this is a priority for the president and has acted quickly to move through the rulemaking process.”
A public comment period for the review closed last month.
