Trapped By Cops, Wife Shooter Kills Himself

"GRAY, ME — A woman was shot and killed by her husband in Winslow on Monday night, and he committed suicide after a chase with police that ended in Gray, Maine State Police said late Monday.

"State police identified the couple as 30-year-old Sarah Gordon and 32-year-old Nathaniel Gordon, both of 4 Marie St. She was shot along Marie Street and he fled the scene in his car, police said.

"Nathaniel Gordon shot himself inside his car after police put down a spike mat, causing him to crash along the Maine Turnpike, roughly 100 yards from Route 26, shortly after 9 p.m.

"The evening chase moved through a number of towns, including Lewiston, before state police were able to get a spike mat down and disable the vehicle.

"Maine Public Safety Spokesman Stephen McCausland said Sarah Gordon was found by police early Monday night after residents on Beck Street in Winslow called to report shots fired.

"The shooting occurred before 8 p.m. and Nathaniel Gordon was pursued by police as he headed south. A little over an hour later, he shot himself after hitting a guardrail.

"A witness said the suspect crashed into a guardrail a short distance from the Route 26 overpass after one of his tires was blown out. Police said it was shortly after the wreck that Gordon shot himself."
