Pyonk then reportedly abducted his estranged wife and headed north. Police tracked Pyonk's other and at around 9:30 p.m., stop sticks punctured all four tires. Pyonk stopped about a mile later and police surrounded the other. The woman escaped at some point in the ensuing standoff. After nearly three hours, officers rushed the disabled other. According to police, they found Pyonk dead from a gunshot wound to the head.
