Suspect in killing of 8 people in suburban Chicago has fatally shot himself in Texas, police say

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — A man suspected of shooting and killing eight people in suburban Chicago fatally shot himself after a confrontation with law enforcement officials in Texas, police said. Nance is suspected of fatally shooting eight people at three locations in the Chicago suburbs, sparking a search that left neighbors on edge earlier Monday as police warned he was still on the loose and should be considered “armed and dangerous.” Police in Will County in Illinois and Joliet previously said they did not know of a motive for the killings, but said Nance knew the victims. “I’ve been a policeman 29 years and this is probably the worst crime scene I’ve ever been associated with,” Evans said during a news conference outside the Joliet homes Monday evening. “It’s super scary.” Joliet Police said in a Facebook post earlier on Monday afternoon that they were investigating “multiple” people found dead and shared Nance’s photo and images of a vehicle.
