GILBERT, Ariz. — A police lieutenant from a Phoenix suburb was shot and killed during a traffic stop Thursday, and after a 50-mile chase, the two suspects stopped in the middle of a mountain highway and were wounded in a gunfight with officers, authorities said Friday.
Lt. Eric Shuhandler, a 16-year veteran of the Gilbert Police Department, was wounded about 11 p.m. Thursday and rushed to a hospital, where he died.
The two men arrested are Christopher A. Redondo, 35, of Globe, and Daimen Irizarry, 30, of Gilbert. They were wounded after they stopped their truck in the middle of U.S. 60 at the end of the chase and engaged in a shootout with officers.
