re: Alabama sheriff’s deputy & capital murder suspect run away together - UPDATE: CAPTURED

Another update from the same site.

"Recaptured Alabama fugitive Casey White intended to have a shootout with law enforcement, and would have done so had pursuing officers not forced White to wreck in a ditch Monday in Evansville, Indiana, a sheriff said Tuesday.
"Had we not (forced him into the ditch), the fugitive was going to engage in a shootout with law enforcement," Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding told reporters, citing White's interviews with investigators after his capture.

"That action may have saved many of my deputies' (and other officers') lives," Wedding said.

Investigators found guns and about $29,000 in cash in the vehicle White was driving Monday, Wedding said.

Authorities preliminarily believe that White's passenger, former Alabama corrections officer Vicky White, shot herself "once the vehicle crashed," Wedding said. She died at a hospital later Monday.
A coroner will confirm whether Vicky White shot herself, Wedding said.
"(Casey White) said he was probably going to have a shootout at the stake of both of them losing their lives," Wedding said."
