A fugitive gunman who filmed himself randomly slaughtering a grandad in the street (You can read the story here) has shot and killed himself after a police chase. Cops tracked down Steve Stephens, 37, after a McDonald’s drive-thru worker recognised him and stalled the killer by saying his fries weren’t ready. The twisted killer went on the run after posting a Facebook video of the moment he shot dead Robert Godwin Sr in Cleveland, Ohio. He was found 100 miles from the murder scene at a McDonald’s in Erie County, Pennsylvania – where he ordered a 20-piece box of Chicken McNuggets and fries. Restaurant owner Thomas DuCharme Jr said one of the employees called cops and tried to delay the killer by saying his order was not ready, CNN reported.

“We told him his fries were going to be a minute,” said Henry Sayers, the restaurant’s manager.
But Stephens reportedly grew impatient and yelled: “I can’t wait! I need my McNuggets!”
The killer then sped out of the car park and almost hit Gail Wheeler, 54, who was on her way home from the supermarket. Cops caught up with Stephens at around 11am (local time) yesterday and tried to pull him over but he sped off, Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams said. Police chased him, but the suspect shot himself “as the car was spinning out of control”, police said.
Chief Williams said: “As the officers approached that vehicle Steve Stephens took his own life.”
His death - around 100 miles from the scene of Mr Godwin's killing - brought an end to a three-day manhunt to capture one of the world's most wanted men. Stephens, who had no prior criminal record, is not believed to have killed any more people, officials said.
Pennsylvania Governor Wolf said “I am incredibly grateful to the Pennsylvania State police for their bravery and vigilance in spotting and pursuing ‘Facebook Live Killer’ Steve Stephens in Erie and acting without hesitation to keep others safe.
