"It started at about 4:30 in the afternoon in the 200 block of East 70th where the suspect allegedly shot a man in the leg and and stole a vehicle.'
"About an hour later, the Sheriff's Department got a call about a man on North Market threatening to shoot himself and others. When deputies arrived they found this man in that stolen SUV. He fled headed toward the town of Greenwood.'

They put out spike strips at several spots but the chase continued from Greenwood back into Shreveport, into the Cedar Grove neighborhood and through Queensborough. It finally ended at Jewella and Greenwood. The suspect had a gun and apparently pointed the gun at officers. 5 officers fired shots at the suspect, killing him."
