The shooting suspect, 20-year-old Chase Garvey, of Florence, had fled the scene when officers arrived but he was quickly located and fled police in a vehicle. He crashed into a ditch on Dale Heimbrock Way near Hicks Pike and committed suicide.

The shootings took place on Ridgecrest Drive at approximately 2:50 Saturday morning when police responded to a report of “an active shooter inside the residence.”

The investigation is ongoing.
