A Washington man who drove a truck into the front of his ex-wife's home and shot her in the hand before speeding off, is thought by police to have then shot himself to death on a roadside 50 miles away.
The violent string of events began when Dion E. Fisher arrived at the Kent home where his ex-wife and three of their four children, ages 10 to 18, lived at around 3.30am on Thursday and rammed his vehicle straight through the front window. Two of the three fled the property while one hid and dialled for help as their father strode through the house firing shots with a handgun looking for his ex-wife.
Mr Fisher shot his ex-wife once in the hand and then took off in his truck leading police on a chase through Maple Valley before managing to get away. As the wounded mother recovered in hospital on Friday and the presumed body of Mr Fisher was found near his vehicle in Index, a picture emerged of a troubled man who had threatened his family before.
The Fishers divorced in 2009 but as recently as a month ago Mr Fisher's ex-wife submitted a request for a domestic violence protection order against him in which she called Mr Fisher bi-polar and claimed he abused drugs and alcohol. She also said that he had been sending his children 'goodbye' texts which led her to fear for their safety.
But the request was dismissed by a judge who claimed there was a lack of evidence to show that Mr Fisher was a threat. At a more recent custody hearing, the Fishers' neighbor recalls that Mr Fisher never even showed up. 'He said he didn't want nothing to do with them,' said Carole Vandel. 'She was trying to do the best she could, but he didn't want any part of it.'
The same neighbor was awoken by knocking on her door early on Thursday morning as the two children begged her for help. Sgt. Cindi West told local reporters how two of they had managed to escaped the terrifying scene by jumping out the window.
In Snohomish County, a medical examiner has yet to confirm the identity of the body though the license plate of the black Dakota Dodge found in Index matches Mr Fisher's and King County police are working under the assumption it is Mr Fisher.
One of his daughters, Brooke, posted an angry comment late Thursday on her Facebook page saying: 'I resent my father so much for we he put us all through this morning. But ... rest in peace dad . I wish everything was different.'
