1 Man Dead After Police Chase Ends In Gunfire

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - One man is dead and a major Dallas highway was shut down following a high-speed chase and shooting that involved Dallas police Friday afternoon.

Around 4:30 p.m. Dallas police began chasing a pickup truck for unknown reasons. The chase ended in gunfire on Highway 175 at Buckner Blvd in South Dallas.

While officials confirm no police officers were hit by the gunfire...the man driving the pickup truck was taken to Baylor University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Sources says that Garland police are part of the investigation.

Police are checking into whether this matter is connected to this morning's shooting at Miller and Shiloh. That shooting left one man in critical condition and police have been looking for the gunman.
