A veteran police sergeant in Savannah, Georgia, died after he and another officer were shot during a gunfight Saturday night while investigating a robbery, officials said.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Sunday that the suspect in the fatal shooting of Sgt. Kelvin Ansari had also died from injuries suffered in Saturday night's gun battle. The suspect's name was not immediately released.
The second officer shot in the episode, who was not identified by authorities, was treated at a hospital and released, police said in a statement. Green said that as the officers approached the suspicious vehicle, shots ran out. The officers were hit by gunfire, but at least one managed to return fire, mortally wounding the suspect, she said.
"Please keep our officers and their families in your thoughts and prayers at this time," the Savannah Police Department said in a statement.
