From ABC, WFTS in Tampa, Florida:
After day-long search, suspected rapist Charlie Christopher ‘Chris’ Bates shot to death in shootout
The man suspected of several rapes and armed robberies in the north Tampa area has died following a high-speed chase and shootout on Highway 301 just north of I-4.
According to Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee, Charlie Christopher Bates, 24, fired shots through a back windshield of a stolen car as officers pursued him.
Bates was on the run after a series of home invasions Thursday night and Friday early morning, near USF. Officials said Bates fired shots, raped four women, and forced some 20 people at a football game-watching party into a bedroom.
Clearly, a situation that ended well and will save taxpayers thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars.
One genetic mutant down; many more remaining.

The way things are going he probably would have gotten off somehow.
This is clearly a money-saving event for local government.
