A 31-year-old woman shot and killed herself early Tuesday evening at the intersection of South 144th Street and Interurban Avenue in Tukwila in what appears to be a murder-suicide.

A man she was reportedly in a relationship with was found dead earlier Tuesday afternoon with multiple gunshot wounds on Seattle's Beacon Hill. One gunshot wound was to the back of his head, police said.

King 5 News reported witnesses seeing the woman kneeling over the body of the man before fleeing in a car.
The woman then apparently drove south to Tukwila. Police officers had already received reports of the man's shooting and were able to pursue her vehicle. The couple apparently had a previous reputation with the Seattle Police Department's gang unit.

"She shot herself in front of the officers," said King County paramedic Ben Jack, who treated the suspect. "They were chasing her. They did a pit maneuver to stop her vehicle and she pulled the trigger. She had to have put the gun right in her mouth."
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Anyone with information regarding the Beacon Hill shooting should contact the Seattle Police Department.
