ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) -- A recently divorced off-duty police officer chased down and fatally shot his ex-wife on Tuesday, then put the gun to his head and held police at bay before he surrendered, authorities said.

Authorities say Neptune Township police Sgt. Phil Seidle had his 7-year-old daughter in the front seat of his vehicle while he chased after a car driven by his ex-wife, Tamara, shortly before 11:30 a.m. Authorities say moments after the chase ended, he got out and fired his .40-caliber Glock service weapon several times into her vehicle.

Police officers who happened to be in the neighborhood for an unrelated traffic accident saw the shooting unfold and took the child from her father's car. The girl apparently was not injured.

Well, what if she refused to follow orders? This is how cops have been trained to respond when orders they give aren't followed, right? That's absolutely ridiculous. This couple had nine kids together, and what does he do?- he just shoots her. Poor girl. She is so injured. I mean, emotionally. What about this murderer? I'm sure he'll just get a few months in jail.

Don't know you......but that was a shitty OP. Your editorializing at the end indicates that you aren't very bright. You've no cause to believe that this guy won't be punished for his actions.

We've got enough lame assed people posting here already. Up your game.
