The suspect’s escape was foiled when another officer spotted him acting funny parking lot. The man shot and killed himself as the officer approached the rental car he had car-jacked earlier in the day to get to campus, source say.
The man who shot officer Deriek Crouse remains publicly unidentified, but police say he wasn’t a student or affiliated with the school.
