According to a news release, the incident began Saturday morning in Jessamine County when deputies requested state police assistance to pursue a vehicle.
The chase entered Garrard County where a trooper unsuccessfully tried to stop the car using a tire deflation device.
Investigators say Adams then rammed the rear of another officer's car and opened fire. Police returned shots, killing Adams
Police have not said what started the car chase.
One deputy was inured when a bullet grazed his hand and struck him in the shoulder. He was treated and released from a local hospital.
