Police have released the details of a domestic incident on Sunday that ended with a West Virginia man taking his own life on Interstate 99 in Bedford County.

Eric J. Larew, 38, of Tunnelton, W.Va., shot himself during a traffic stop on the southbound lanes of Interstate 99 at mile marker 9.4 near Bedford on Sunday after fleeing a Freedom Township gas station where police say he put a gun to his wife’s head during a domestic incident.

Freedom Township Police Chief Terry Dellinger said he was dispatched to the GetGo on Traveler’s Road at 12:39 p.m. for a report of a weapon. Dellinger said Larew’s wife told him he had found her at a nearby Taco Bell and confronted her and that he had their two daughters, ages 17 and 20, with him in his truck.

Larew and his wife talked briefly, and Larew put a handgun to his wife’s head before one of the daughters intervened, Dellinger said. Larew and the two daughters then drove off.

While Dellinger was on scene, Greenfield Township police were on the lookout for Larew’s truck headed south on I-99. Larew’s truck was spotted about 1 p.m. and he was pulled over at mile marker 9.4 in King Township, Bedford County.

Dellinger said it was then that a single shot was fired, and Larew was found to have shot himself. Neither of his daughters were injured.

State police in Bedford said Tuesday they are investigating the incident as a suicide.
