BUCKLEY, Wash. (AP) — A homicide suspect is dead after he allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend and fled the scene.

Buckley Police say they got a call just after midnight Sunday that a woman had been shot and killed by her boyfriend at a home in Carbonado. The boyfriend had reportedly fled the scene.

Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies were called to help and were driving to the home when they saw the suspect driving off. Officers deployed spike strips to slow the vehicle down. Shortly after deputies stopped the vehicle, they radioed that shots had been fired and the suspect was dead. No officers were injured.
