Authorities say a police pursuit that went through two states and involved two separate shootouts with law enforcement officers and several crashes ended with the death of the woman being sought. The pursuit began shortly before noon Tuesday in Delaware, when Wilmington police went to a residence to arrest 23-year-old Yazmyn Stewart on a warrant. She fled the home in a vehicle and rammed multiple marked Wilmington police vehicles before driving into Pennsylvania. After crashing her vehicle, authorities say she started firing at officers who returned fire. She then carjacked another vehicle and crashed into a structure. Stewart then entered a home  and took another car and tried to flee again but was stopped when officers opened fire.
