A woman who was allegedly abducted from her upstate New York home by her child’s father was killed in a shootout between her accused captor and law enforcement in Virginia.

Michael Davis allegedly opened fire at police in Virginia when officers tried to pull him over during a high-speed pursuit, according to New York State Police. 

During the chase, Davis hit a guardrail near Prince William County, Virginia, but continued to drive until he ran his SUV off the road and crashed it into a wooded area, Virginia State Police said.

“As troopers approached the SUV, the driver began shooting at them. State police returned fire,” they said in a statement.
