Investigators say the couple were suspected in a robbery reported in the parking lot of a Lincoln hotel around 8:30 a.m. Saturday.

A Nebraska state trooper later spotted their vehicle and a chase ensued in which Alexander fired at officers.

Investigators say once the vehicle was stopped, officers exchanged gunfire with the couple.
