Driver died from gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted, St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says

Detectives are investigating the connection between the shooting deaths of two women found in a Palm Beach County home Wednesday and a chase that came to a halt on I-95, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

Chuck Mulligan, with the Sheriff’s Office, said it was a multi-agency response. He said after stop sticks were deployed, the driver -- a man -- crashed into a median near State Road 207.
