SANDY, Utah — Police say a deadly drive-by shooting in Midvale ended when the suspect crashed his car and died by suicide in Sandy.
The drive-by shooting happened in the parking lot of a Maverik station in Midvale around 9 p.m. Wednesday night and when officers arrived, they say they found the victim dead in his car.
Witnesses described seeing the shooter driving a Jeep Wrangler, which police found a few hours later, after which a chase ensued.
Police say the suspect’s car crashed and rolled outside an elementary school in Sandy, and when officers approached they found the driver had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police say the scene should be clear before kids arrive for school, but the Canyons School District is still assessing damage to the school grounds.
Police say they are investigating the relationship between the shooter and victim, and the motive for the drive-by.
