DANVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a man who was shot and killed by an Illinois trooper was a suspect in two shootings in Iowa. The Illinois State Police said in a news release Wednesday that 39-year-old Randy A. Jackson shot and wounded a man and woman in Clinton, Iowa, which is just across the Illinois state border. The man, who was shot Sunday night, is recovering from non-life-threatening wounds. The woman’s condition wasn’t immediately available. Authorities say troopers and officers from several other agencies chased Jackson’s vehicle Monday night near Danville, which is near Illinois’ border with Indiana. They say he later refused to comply during a standoff and that a trooper shot him. He died at a hospital on Tuesday.
