How they died

Suicide

Police said a chase began in Kentucky around 3 a.m. after state troopers stopped Thomas R. May during a road check. May reportedly drove off as several officers were standing beside the car. According to police, the officers were dragged by the other but were not injured. Mingo County sheriff's deputies and Williamson police took over the pursuit after Mays' other crossed into West Virginia. Several miles in, police shot out the tires. A deputy shot and killed May after he allegedly attempted to hit several officers with his car.
