A Pennsylvania police chief was shot and killed Monday and the suspected gunman was killed, sources told Fox News Digital.

Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire was killed and another police officer from an unconfirmed police agency was injured, sources said. The injured officer was shot in the leg. 

Authorities said they were looking for Aaron Lamont Swan, 28, of Duquesne, in connection to the shooting, Allegheny County Police Superintendent, Christopher Kearns, told reporters. Swan is also known to frequent the Penn Hills area.

At 2 p.m., officers found Swan, who was wanted for a probation violation, and chased him on foot. At 4:15 p.m., a Brackenridge police officer saw Swan in the 800 block of Third Street and another foot chase ensued, Kearns said.
