At Rest

Suicide
Jason R. Steinly reportedly shot himself after a 20-mile police pursuit in rural Missouri. Steinly had pretended to be a police officer and tried to abduct a woman in St. Peters hospital parking lot earlier that day. Bowling Green police spotted Steinly's car and attempted to stop him. He fled, and a chase ensued. At about 9 p.m., Steinly stopped his car and shot himself in the head. According to reports, Steinly was a former Missouri Department of Corrections officer who'd been fired in June after working at a women's detention center in Vandalia for two months.
