ASHEBORO, N.C. (AP) — A man accused of attempting to kill a female cab driver was shot and killed after a chase across three counties in North Carolina.

The man was spotted Tuesday morning in Rowan County, news outlets reported. Deputies began a chase through Davidson County before officers performed a pit maneuver at the North Carolina Zoo in Randolph County, according to Sheriff Greg Seabolt.

Deputies opened fire on the man and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Seabolt said.

The zoo wasn’t open to the public at the time of the shooting. In a tweet, the zoo said the shooting happened in a parking lot that was closed for the season and the zoo would be open Tuesday.
