Police are identifying two suspects who were shot and killed after opening fire on an officer during a traffic stop last week. Investigators say 33-year-old Sammie Barbosa was the driver and Alex Garcia was a passenger in a pickup truck the officer pulled over last Friday morning on Pinn Road near Highway 90. Garcia reportedly fired a handgun and wounded the officer in the hand. The officer returned fire, killing both Garcia and Barbosa. A woman who was also in the truck was wounded in the torso and taken to the hospital.
