As police there began to investigate, the Cadillac sped away and struck a motorcycle; it got stuck under the car and was dragged.
Then the driver reversed, apparently trying to dislodge the motorcycle, and hit a pedestrian.
The department says more officers arrived, identified themselves and ordered the suspect to stop. It's not clear whether he did.
Gunfire erupted, and the unidentified driver was pronounced dead at a hospital.
