"Nashville Police Chief's Son Found Dead After Manhunt for Shooting Officers"

Nashville Police Chief John Drake's estranged son, John C. Drake Jr., who was wanted for a shooting that injured two La Vergne police officers, was found dead in Nashville from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The three-day search ended after Drake Jr. stole a car at gunpoint, crashed it, and fled into a shed where he died. Chief John Drake expressed his heartbreak and gratitude to law enforcement for their efforts, while Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell offered sympathy. The shooting had sparked a manhunt and a shelter-in-place order in La Vergne.
