Another deputy shot and killed the man, officials said.

The truck was parked behind the store with its key, according to the stock office.
A vehicle was chased, and the Fairfax County Police Department, following a stolen vehicle outpost warning, apprehended the suspect, the sheriff’s office fee said.
