After police tracked the truck to a nearby home, Hayworth says someone in the truck fired at least one shot at a responding officer, who returned fire.

Police say the truck ended up crashing into a garage. The bodies of the two men were removed early Friday from the truck.

Officers have so far declined to say how the men died.
