Authorities suspect that Jason Hendrix (pictured) may have killed three members of his family before being fatally shot by Baltimore police

A Kentucky teenager died in a shootout with Maryland police Saturday — three days after he allegedly murdered his mom, dad and little sister and fled the state in his parents' SUV.

Jason Hendrix — a faithful churchgoer and a high school ROTC cadet — died at the shootout scene Saturday, Baltimore County cops said.

Police in his hometown of Corbin, Ky., said the 16-year-old shot his beekeeper parents and cheerleader sister execution-style Wednesday, just hours before he attended a weekly church service.

Investigators have not determined a motive for the slayings, but said Jason Hendrix was angry at his parents for taking away his computer privileges days before the killings.

The Saturday chase started when Maryland state troopers tried to pull Jason Hendrix over for speeding, CBS Baltimore reported. He drove through Harford County and Baltimore County before he slammed his parents' green Honda Pilot into another car, police said.

When officer approached the SUV, Jason Hendrix started shooting. He injured one officer before the cops fired back, killing the teen.

After police identified the gunman, they asked police in Corbin, Ky., to check in on the teen's home.
