The suspect vehicle traveled into Richmond on Richmond Parkway before turning right onto Atlas Road, where the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed, according to French.
After the crash, there was an exchange of gunfire between Pinole police officers and at least one of the three suspects, and one of the suspects was killed, French said.
