(CNN) A Pennsylvania man shot at his ex-wife after their divorce was finalized, then drove to a retirement community and killed his parents, authorities said. After hours on the run, he was found dead early Thursday.

Bruce Rogal, 59, fled the scene after killing his parents Wednesday night and was considered armed and dangerous, said District Attorney Tom Hogan of Chester County.

The bullets missed his wife but hit nearby houses. No injuries were reported.

He was on the run for hours before police saw his minivan and pursued him, Hogan said early Thursday. Rogal led police officers on a chase before crashing his vehicle into the side of the house where his ex-wife was earlier, but she had left and was not injured.

When police made contact with him, he was dead, Hogan said, but did not provide specifics on what killed him.
