From the Star-Telegram this morning:
Driver kills himself after police chase
A 30-year-old man fatally shot himself early Saturday after trying to run over a Dallas police officer during a routine traffic stop, Dallas police said.
The driver fled after the stop, which came at 12:55 a.m. near Fitzhugh and Capitol Aves., north of downtown Dallas.
Officers chased him into Allen, Lt. Vernon Hale said in a statement.
After about an hour, the man crashed his vehicle. At some point during the chase, he shot himself, Hale said. No other injuries were reported.
I suppose it is accurate to say "at some point," but it would be my guess that this shot occurred at the very end of the chase.
