A violent chase came to an end in Mansfield Monday after police say a driver who fired multiple shots at law enforcement killed himself.
According to officials, deputies began following a driver who had reportedly been driving recklessly and the wrong way down the street. Officials said the man flashed a gun at them and sped away, leading them on a chase from the Burleson area into Mansfield and Tarrant County.
The driver finally stopped near Texas 360 and Broad Street after apparently crashing. The sheriff's department said they then heard a gunshot and discovered the driver dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
It's unclear what the driver crashed into and no other damaged vehicles were seen at the scene.
