STAFFORD, Va. — Recently released dash cam footage shows a murder suspect leading a Virginia deputy on a high-speed pursuit and shooting at him.
WTTG reports that 42-year-old Gregory Lee fired several shots at the deputy on Dec. 28, causing the LEO to swerve to the right shoulder of the highway. Police said one of the bullets went through the deputy’s windshield and narrowly missed him.

The deputy continued the pursuit and the suspect eventually lost control of his vehicle and crashed. Officials said they found Lee with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and flew him to a hospital, where he later died.
Lee was suspected of fatally shooting his wife earlier that morning. A trooper located Lee’s vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, leading to the pursuit.
Police said before the deputy responded, Lee also fired his weapon at the trooper’s vehicle. The trooper was able to duck away and avoided getting struck.
