The pursuit and shooting that left a Fredericksburg woman dead on Wednesday began with her being ambushed by gunfire outside her apartment, according to a statement from that development.
That memo was found attached to one of the adjacent buildings at the Riverwood Apartment complex on Thursday afternoon.
It states that the female victim was backing her vehicle into a parking space when her estranged children’s father came out of the bushes with a firearm and shot at her vehicle.
The victim then fled the scene, at which point the suspect initiated pursuit.
hyperbole obtained images of a significant police presence at the same apartment complex on Wednesday afternoon, which Fredericksburg Police Chief Betsy Mason confirmed were related to the pursuit, shooting and crash at Emancipation Highway and College Avenue.
Police say that suspect eventually fled to an area off of Wilderness Lane before sustaining a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Law enforcement states it won’t release the identity of either the victim or perpetrator. Details on any potential criminal history or domestic violence are also scant as the investigation into Wednesday’s incident continues.
