TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio robbery suspect has been shot to death by police after a wild car chase that spanned two counties, killed one motorist and injured eight other people.

Toledo police Chief Mike Navarre says 48-year-old Brian Everett Lipp of Lambertville, Mich., was wanted for aggravated burglary and two drugstore robberies.

Police say Lipp pointed a gun at a sergeant who confronted him early Saturday and fled. They say Lipp then drove the wrong way on Interstate 74.

Police chasing him collided with a vehicle driven by a 63-year-old man, who died. Eight other people, including two officers and three children, were injured in multiple crashes.

The Toledo Blade reports that police shot Lipp to death after he crashed his car, lit a crack pipe and pointed a gun at officers.
