(CNN) -- A police officer and a bystander died from wounds suffered in a parking lot shootout after a car chase in a Houston suburb Monday, police said.
The pursuit started after a driver refused to stop when a Bellaire, Texas, police officer tried to pull over his vehicle, Houston police spokesman John Cannon said.
The fleeing car collided with a pickup truck, which then joined the chase, Cannon said.
The police officer and the truck driver followed the driver into an auto parts business parking lot, where the gunfire began, he said.
The driver shot and killed a man who was not involved in the chase, then exchanged gunfire with the police officer, Cannon said. The driver and the officer were wounded.
The officer, whose named has not been made public, died later at Ben Taub General Hospital, police said. The driver is listed in critical condition at a hospital.
