The suspect in the slaying of a woman Tuesday morning has been taken into custody in Indiana after apparently shooting himself.

Chillicothe police tell 10TV they received a call about a shooting just before 7:00 a.m. Tuesday on the 500 block of Laurel Street.

Upon arrival, police discovered a female body at the scene. The identity of the victim has not been released.

Chillicothe police identified the suspect as 34-year-old Jerry Way. Way, who went on the run shortly after the shooting, was located Tuesday afternoon and was taken into custody by the Indiana State Police.

Richmond Police Chief Jim Branum says Way was sitting in a minivan in a parking lot when he apparently shot himself about noon Tuesday.

Way was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton where his condition was not immediately available Tuesday afternoon.

Neighbors shaken up

Neighbors told 10TV's Laura Borchers they first realized something was out of the ordinary around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

"My husband heard something," said neighbor Lisa Hyden. "He was getting ready this morning. He heard a gunshot, but didn't think much of it because it wasn't very loud. He thought it was a truck backfiring."

Hyden said her husband went to check things out next door. Moments later her phone rang.

"He called and told me to stay inside and to lock the doors because a woman was shot in the backyard," said Hyden.
