A woman is dead and a man suspected of shooting his mother in Alabama was injured after the pair were involved in a shootout with Arkansas sheriff’s deputies following a chase there that spanned three counties, authorities said Thursday.

Tami Nayler, 47, died after she was shot by the deputies following the pursuit that ended early Wednesday morning in Cross County, Arkansas, according to the Arkansas State Police.

William Burchett, 54, who is a suspect in the shooting of his mother in Hokes Bluff, in Etowah County, was injured in the shootout, the agency said. Burchett was taken to St. Bernard’s Medical Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas with unspecified injuries.

It was unclear why the pair was in Arkansas, but state police said the vehicle Burchett and Nayler were in led law enforcement on a pursuit that started in Crittenden County, crossed into a rural section of Poinsett County and ended in Cross County, where spike strips were deployed on Highway 75.

Burchett and Nayler fired on deputies, according to state police, prompting the officers to return shots.

No deputies were injured in the incident, which the state police is investigating, the agency said.
