With this situation here, as long as we had a suspect that had firearms that we knew was shooting at law enforcement and shooting at the helicopter we knew it wasn't safe to leave the freeway open.
He does appear to have a gunshot injury, and it appears it could be self-inflicted.
We do not believe it was a result of police fire.
There appear to be some similarities. But it will be up to investigators to decide if they are all linked.
The suspect was located in a very difficult area to work around. It's very swampy, there's a lot of brush, a lot of blackberries, and a lot of trees that are down so it was a very difficult situation especially in the dark.
Sometimes they will return because they have been successful at that place. They feel less risk.
