Troopers shot and killed a suspect following a pursuit through a Delaware neighborhood late Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 4:15 p.m. at Harvey Road and Garfield Avenue in Claymont, Delaware after the driver tried to run down two officers, according to Delaware State Police.
The male suspect, later identified as 41-year-old William McNulty, was rushed to Christiana Hospital in critical condition, according to state police. He died at the hospital about two hours later.
No state troopers suffered any injuries, said investigators.
As SkyForce10 hovered overhead you could see a sedan crashed into a tree with at least three police vehicles surrounding it. It appeared windows on the car were shot out and debris could be seen strewed across the grass.
Police said they suspected McNulty in an earlier attempted ATM robbery and an armed robbery at an area 7-Eleven.
The intersection lies in a neighborhood surrounded by Interstate 95 on one side and Interstate 495 on the other. Police closed Harvey Road from I-95 to Philadelphia Pike as they continued to investigate Friday evening.

The two officers who shot McNulty were placed on administrative leave -- per department policy -- as the investigation continued.
