Authorities say the estranged son of Nashville’s police chief was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a chase in a stolen car.
The estranged son of Nashville’s police chief, wanted in the shooting of two police officers, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after leading police on a chase in a stolen car, authorities said. Nashville Police Chief John Drake issued a statement on Wednesday thanking officers for working to locate his son after John Drake Jr., 38, was accused of shooting and wounding two officers in nearby La Vergne on Saturday.
Officers found Drake dead with a gunshot wound that was apparently self-inflicted, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a statement posted on social media. TBI will investigate Drake’s death at Dist. Atty. Glenn Funk’s request and a full autopsy will be performed as part of the investigation, the agency said. Drake, who had been wanted on two counts of attempted first-degree murder, was the son of Metro Nashville Police Department Chief John Drake.
