MARIETTA, Ga.—A state trooper and a driver who led him on a chase on a highway in suburban Atlanta both suffered gunshot wounds after exchanging fire Wednesday afternoon, a Georgia State Patrol spokesman said.
Trooper Jacob Fields was patrolling Interstate 75 southbound in Cobb County shortly after 3:30 p.m. when he saw a black Chevrolet Silverado traveling at a high rate of speed, State Patrol spokesman Capt. Mark Perry said. Fields recorded the pickup truck going 98 mph and when he tried to pull the Silverado over, the driver fled, Perry said.
