Michael P. Geary reportedly killed himself after shooting trooper Kurt Quick and leading police on a chase. According to police, Quick stopped Geary's El Camino after he ran a four-way stop sign at about 8:30 p.m. in Crescent City. Geary reportedly shot Quick as he approached, then got out and fired more shots as Quick returned fire and retreated. Geary got back in the El Camino and fled. Geary was intercepted west of Gilman by Piper City Police Chief Fred Fanning, who followed him and requested backup. Just east of Piper City, Geary apparently shot himself in the head.
