SEATTLE (AP) — A former Washington state police officer wanted in two killings has been found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a chase in Oregon. Authorities say his 1-year-old baby was taken safely into custody Tuesday by Oregon State Police troopers. The troopers began chasing former Yakima officer Elias Huizar when they saw him driving southbound on Interstate 5 near Eugene, Oregon. Police say Huizar sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and that his condition was unknown. Huizar went on the run Monday after killing two people, including his former wife.
