COVINGTON, Ga. -- A high-speed chase on I-20 Wednesday night ended in a gunfight between police and a suspect that left the suspect dead.

A Georgia State Patrol officer spotted a car going 94 mph on the interstate in Newton County about 9 p.m., said Covington police Lt. Wendell Wagstaff.

The trooper started a high speed chase that lasted four miles.

The chase ended near Alcovy Road when the state trooper bumped the speeding car with his vehicle in a "PIT maneuver."

The suspect opened fire on the state trooper and a Covington police officer.

"He was sitting in the driver's seat, shooting out the window," said Wagstaff.

Both officers shot back, with all three men firing several rounds.

The suspect was shot several times and killed.

A female passenger in the suspect's car was not injured; neither were the two officers.

After being closed for several hours, the interstate was reopened about 5 a.m.
