A woman involved in a domestic-related shooting in the Lakeisde area Monday morning subsequently led police on a high-speed chase before shooting and killing herself, according to Virginia State Police.
The woman was involved in a domestic-related shooting with another adult female in the 4200 block of Sprenkle Lane, just off Staples Mill Road not far from Glenside Drive, at about 8 a.m. Henrico Police arrived to find that shots had been fired but no injuries were reported.
One of the women took a pink four-door Honda and left the scene, according to Henrico Police. An officer spotted the vehicle and initiated a pursuit on I-95 South, calling for back-up from state troopers, who then joined the chase at about 8:10 a.m.
VSP officials used a tire deflation device in an effort to stop the woman. Shortly after she ran over it, VSP officials said, she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police are continuing their investigation.
