ERIE, Pa. (CBS) –– Pennsylvania State Police say the manhunt for the alleged ‘Facebook killer’ Steve Stephens is over.

Authorities say Stephens shot and killed himself after a brief pursuit. 

Stephens is suspected of shooting an elderly man in Cleveland, Ohio, videotaping the killing and then posting that video on Facebook.

Yesterday, there were reports that Stephens was spotted in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park area, but police said the reports were unsubstantiated.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf tweeted his thanks to the Pennsylvania State Police for their vigilance.

      They didn’t faint at the sight of his blood?

  2. “Authorities say…”

    Already I have a MAJOR credibility issue with this ‘story’.

    How convenient is it that they almost always do the pigs a favor by eliminating themselves from the equation… sans shedding any PIGS’ blood?
