Killer Shoots Himself During Police Chase

"XENIA, OH — A Xenia man killed himself before police could apprehend him after a high-speed pursuit as part of an apparent murder/suicide.

"Earnest R. Starling Jr., 35, of Springfield, was shot and killed outside a home on East Church Street in Xenia about 1 a.m. Tuesday. The shooter, Chris Fonzi Jr., 31, reportedly came to that address, where his estranged wife lived, and displayed a handgun before forcing his way inside.

"Witnesses told Xenia police Starling and Fonzi argued in the home for several minutes. Fonzi fired several shots inside the home, then chased Starling outside, where he fired two more times. One of those bullets hit Starling in the torso, killing him, said Xenia Detective Scott Anger.

"Police released a description of the white truck Fonzi was seen fleeing in, and Greene County sheriff’s deputies located it on U.S. 35. A high-speed chase ensued, with speeds reaching up to 85 mph. The pursuit ended in Dayton after officers there used stop sticks on Terry Street to deflate the tires on Fonzi’s truck.

"After hitting the stop sticks, Anger said, Fonzi apparently shot himself in his truck. The vehicle hit an RTA pole near Fifth and Terry streets. Fonzi was taken to a hospital but died of the self-inflicted gunshot wound, Anger said. Officers recovered the weapon used in the shooting.

"Starling was visiting Fonzi’s estranged wife and her niece on Church Street when the shooting occurred, said police, who noted Fonzi used to live at that same address."

Car Chase, Crash Ends In Gunfire

"LOUISVILLE, KY — A Louisville couple is dead after what police say was a murder/suicide Monday night.

"Police say Anthony Puryear, 39, shot his wife, Shannon Puryear, 37, then killed himself outside a body shop in the 1700 block of Lincoln Avenue, just off Poplar Level Road.

"Police are still attempting to determine a motive and what led up to this shooting.

"They said the Puryears were in the process of getting a divorce and officers had never made any runs to their Louisville home.

"Police said, from what they can determine so far, the incident began with an altercation on the Watterson Expressway.

"Witnesses told police that it was obvious Anthony Puryear in his car was trying to get his wife to pull over her SUV.

"Instead she got off the Watterson Expressway at Poplar Level Road, followed by her husband’s car, police said.

"According to witnesses, she appeared to lose control and crashed into the garage of a nearby body shop.

"Police said Anthony Puryear got out of the car, shot Shannon Puryear, then turned the gun on himself.

"`From what I've been able to see this morning, there's no history of domestic violence. Neither of them had a criminal history. He's an active member of the Army. So there was nothing we saw that would indicate an incident like this happening,` said Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit Lt. Todd Kessinger.

"Family members said the couple have two young daughters."
