An investigation is underway after authorities were involved in a fatal shooting in Hixson, a Hamilton County dispatcher said.
Hamilton County sheriff's deputies were dispatched on a disorder call with a possible weapon in the Collegedale/Ooltewah area last night about 9:30.
While sheriff's deputies were in route to the location, the suspect fled the scene in his car, according to a news release. Sheriff's deputies pursued the suspect and attempted to stop him several times, but he refused to pull over or stop, the release said.
Sheriff's deputies were finally able to stop the suspect in the 5900 block of Highway 153. Once stopped, the suspect brandished a weapon at which time officers had to use deadly force to stop him, the release said. No sheriff's deputies were injured in this incident.
