Jason Dale Smith

Suicide

A trooper attempted to stop a maroon Chevy Impala for speeding on US-56. The Impala sped up, and the trooper pursued. Jason Dale Smith began shooting out of his window at the trooper, and the pursuit continued into the town of Garfield, where Smith shot at, and hit, a Pawnee County patrol car. A Pawnee County deputy attempted a PIT maneuver and went into the ditch and rolled. Smith's other went into another ditch and was disabled. Smith put a gun to his head as the female passenger got out of the car and was arrested. Smith shot and killed himself.
