SPRINGDALE (AP) — Authorities say a police officer in a Cincinnati suburb was killed when a suspect collided with her vehicle during a chase.
Springdale Mayor Doyle Webster says 33-year-old Kaia Grant is the first police fatality in the line of duty in the city’s history.
The Saturday night crash also injured a sergeant, who was treated and released.
Police Chief Tommy Wells says the chase began in another jurisdiction.
The suspect is in custody and a firearm was recovered from the scene.
Details about the reason for the chase and the suspect’s identity weren’t immediately released.
Gov. Mike DeWine has ordered U.S. and Ohio state flags flown at half-staff at all public buildings in Hamilton County in honor of Grant.
