Indiana police: Ohio slaying suspect apparently shoots self

RICHMOND, Ind. (AP) - Authorities in eastern Indiana say a slaying suspect from southern Ohio apparently has shot himself.

Richmond Police Chief Jim Branum (BRAN'-um) says 34-year-old Jerry Way was sitting in a minivan in a parking lot when he apparently shot himself about noon Tuesday.

Way was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, where his condition wasn't available Tuesday afternoon.

Police in Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAWTH'-ee), Ohio, say Way was suspected in the fatal shooting of a woman Tuesday morning outside a home in the city about 110 miles southeast of Richmond. The woman's name wasn't immediately released.

Branum says Chillicothe police had asked Richmond police to look for Way and his minivan.

It wasn't clear if Way has an attorney who might comment on the allegations against him.
