He died on May 8.Territo was suspected of leading police on a chase through three Bay Area counties before coming to a stop on I-80 in Fairfield on May 3. Territo allegedly shot out the window of an SUV on Highway 101 near Santa Rosa. This shooting then started the pursuit, which crossed the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and into the East Bay before ending in the standoff. Authorities said they tried to use de-escalation techniques but the driver refused to comply.Territo sat with a gun in his lap as police surrounded his car, authorities said. The CHP initially reported that he died after he shot himself, but later issued a correction saying he survived and was in critical condition.
