PRINCE GEORGE'S CO., Md. - A deadly officer-involved shooting is under investigation in Prince George's County. 

Police say it all happened after officers conducted a traffic stop and the suspect tried to drive away. 

What we know:

Police put out an alert saying that shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, they were responding to an officer-involved shooting near 23rd Avenue and Ager Rd. in Chillum, Md. 

According to police, an officer developed probable cause to search vehicle and pulled the person over. 

The suspect was taken out of the car and was being watched by another officer when he got away. 

Police say the suspect then jumped back into his car while the lieutenant was searching it, and dragged that officer down the road for about 50 feet as his body was partially in, and partially out of the car. 

The officer then fired a shot and the suspect was hit, crashing the car after the gunfire. 

The suspect was taken to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The officer dragged had serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and the other officer involved was injured as well. 

Dig deeper:

It's not yet clear why police initially pulled the driver over, but they do say a large amount of marijuana was located in the vehicle. 

Per protocol, this case has been transferred to the Independent Investigations Division with the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.
