Police believe suspect shot himself during chase
Police in a Matteson say a suspected bank robber appears to have shot himself in the head during a high-speed chase.
A news release from the Matteson Police Department says an officer pursuing the suspect saw him place what appeared to be a handgun to the side of his head.
Glass blew out of the driver's side window and the vehicle overturned, striking a utility pole and a fence. The man was pronounced dead at the scene with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police did not release his name.
The chase began after a man robbed a BMO Harris bank in Matteson late Friday morning.
