The Nashville police chief’s son, who was wanted in the shooting of two officers, was found dead Tuesday night after leading police on a car chase, authorities said.
John Drake Jr., 38, was being sought on two counts of attempted first-degree murder after a shooting that injured the police officers during a struggle Saturday night in La Vergne, a suburb of Nashville.
Drake Jr. resurfaced Tuesday, when he stole a car from a couple at gunpoint after they wouldn’t give him a ride, Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesperson Don Aaron said.
When officers spotted him in the stolen car, Drake Jr. led them on a pursuit, Aaron said. The car crashed and Drake Jr. got out and fled into a shed behind a home near downtown Nashville, Aaron added.
“While the officers were surrounding the residence to contain the shed, a gunshot was heard and it appears that he has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Aaron said.

When you’re chasing an armed criminal, you gotta love those “self-inflicted” gunshot sounds. They sound like “firecrackers”.

Or Obama’s chef. But he didn’t “go paddle-boarding at midnight”.

Best that he took himself out, that was going to be an awkward apprehension. Does point out how difficult it must be, psychologically, to be black and in law enforcement. The FBI Uniform Crime Statistics do not lie, and you would be facing the hyper-violence and overall criminality of your race 24x7. I guess they call that dissonance.

show me the ballistic evidence!
I guess he was shot by police to save the department from terminal embarrassment
That is, at least one Black Life didn’t matter

Except for those two cops that he shot, yes. To do suicide right, one should always shoot oneself first.
Better yet would have been to not shoot nobody, and go on with life.

So Nashville has a suburb called La Vergne. But I can't find one named Shirley on the map.
Two innocent bystanders now have a car that is presumably totaled. But at least he didn't kill them for sport.

It happens. When a father has a demanding job, they sometimes forget they have a family to raise and don’t attend to the children leaving them vulnerable to wrongful influences.
I’m sure the chief feels guilty about where his son ended up in life.
