LEAGUE CITY, Texas (AP) — A police chase through League City into Houston ended when a man sought for questioning in a robbery fatally shot himself.
Houston police on Wednesday identified the driver as 28-year-old Danny Simmons of Dickinson.
League City police on Tuesday afternoon pursued a car that matched the description of a vehicle used in an aggravated robbery in Kemah (KEE’-muh).
The driver led police north on Interstate 45 into Houston. League City police say the driver called officers during the chase and threatened to harm himself.
Authorities stopped the car using tire spikes after an hour-long chase. A police spokeswoman says officers heard a gunshot as they surrounded the vehicle.
Simmons was dead at the scene.
