Philip Stanley Watros

How they died

Suicide

Troopers were dispatched to locate Philip Watros, possibly armed and making homicidal and suicidal threats to an estranged girlfriend. They found him and his other in Mexico Community Park and, due to the threats and public safety concerns, a perimeter was established. After a 12-hour standoff, Watros shot and killed himself with a rifle.
