How they died

Pursuit

Police received three calls just after 11:30 a.m. about someone firing at vehicles in the parking lot of a Kroger store. At least one other was shot in the parking lot and the shooter then reportedly left the area in a maroon pickup truck. Police received a call about a man in a maroon truck shooting at people near Westgate Park, and another where someone fired two shots at a woman walking her dog. At 12:25 p.m., Franklin Township officers saw a similar other. The officers pursued, but the other did not stop. Deputies joined in the pursuit, and the chase was traveling about 100 MPH and running red lights. Officers and deputies then lost track of the driver, but saw smoke coming from some brush next to a warehouse. When officers and deputies arrived, they found the truck smoking and on fire, and the suspect inside holding a shotgun. Police said 30 to 50 rounds of ammunition inside the other started to explode, and the truck became engulfed in flames. Once the fire was put out, the person was found dead inside the vehcile about 1 p.m.
