Supect Killed, Officer Injured in Marysville Gunfire

Authorities in Ohio say a police chase ended with gunfire that left a man dead and at least one officer wounded.

The Union County Sheriff's Office says 22-year-old Ricky Diamond Jr. was killed Tuesday evening in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officers in Marysville.

A story from the AP says, investigators report that many shots were fired, and they're still sorting out who fired them.

Sgt. Don Eubanks with the sheriff's office says at least one deputy was hit by a ricocheted bullet and received minor injuries.

Deputies had responded earlier to a call about a domestic dispute and say Diamond fled the scene and led them on a chase. The shooting came after a deputy stopped Diamond's truck by crashing into it.
