Police said the suspect was spotted in the borough of Wyomissing near the Berkshire Mall, and a short pursuit began after local police units tried to pull him over.
Police said the suspect drove into the backyard of a home, and the suspect — who they said had “a rifle with a scope across his chest” — did not obey the commands of officers.
Camden County prosecutors and police identified the suspect Friday as 53-year-old Vaughn Perkins of Philadelphia and said he was wanted in the arson of a room at a Gloucester motel Monday. “There is no threat to the public as Perkins is now deceased,” authorities said in a statement Friday.
