Vancouver, Washington - A man shot two adults on Tuesday in the parking lot of a Vancouver, Washington, elementary school before being pursued by police and shooting himself in the head, in what authorities described as a domestic violence situation.
No students or staff members were injured in the incident outside the Sarah J. Anderson Elementary School, the Clark County Sheriff's Office and Vancouver school authorities said. The shootings took place around 3:15 p.m. PST when a man walked up to a parked car and shot through the window, Clark County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Brent Waddell told reporters.
Police got a description of the suspect and his vehicle and took pursuit. The suspect later stopped and got out, Waddell said. "When he was challenged by deputies, he actually put a gun to his head and shot himself," Waddell said.
