[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Self-culling, as discussed.

The son of Nashville's police chief was the prime suspect in the shootings of two officers in the city last weekend

The four-day long manhunt for John Drake Jr. ended on Tuesday night when the suspect took his own life as police closed in on him

The chief issued a statement Saturday confirming his son was the suspect in the shooting. He said his son has not been part of his life for some time.

'Despite my efforts and guidance in the early and teenage years, my son, John Drake Jr., now 38-years-old, resorted to years of criminal activity and is a convicted felon,' Drake said.

'He has not been a part of my life for quite some time. He now needs to be found and held accountable for his actions.

'I hope that anyone who sees him or has information about him will contact law enforcement immediately.'

Officers Ashely Boleyjack and Gregory Kern were investigating a stolen vehicle outside the Dollar General store when they struggled with the suspect, who pulled a handgun and shot them, said La Vergne Police Chief Christopher Moews.

Both officers were treated and released from Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
