South Carolina police say they are "confident" that they are narrowing in on a quadruple murder suspect who has evaded authorities for nearly a week after allegedly shooting at deputies during a 100 mph high-speed chase.
"We are confident (Tyler Terry) is within our perimeter," the Chester County Sheriff's Office tweeted Sunday evening. "Our perimeter has become thicker and is layered. We are sending teams inside in attempts to find him and force him out."
The sheriff's office said earlier it was maintaining "heavy patrol presence in the Richburg and Fort Lawn area."
Both Highway 9 and Richburg Road have been shut down. The sheriff’s office was asking nearby residents to "lock their doors, secure their firearms, stay inside, and report suspicious activity around trash cans, barns, etc."
A manhunt began Monday around 11 p.m. when deputies attempted to pull over a "suspicious vehicle."
The driver refused to stop and fled deputies, reaching upward of 100 mph. Police told FOX 46 Charlotte that Terry fired multiple shots during the chase, hitting two police cars.

The chase came to an end when the car crashed and Terry allegedly fled, but the driver, Adrienne Simpson, was arrested at the scene. She is also facing at least one murder charge.

He is also wanted for five attempted murder charges stemming from a shooting in Chester on May 2, as well as other criminal activity.
