Suicide

A man was detained by sheriff's deputies on Saturday and taken to Palomar Medical Center Poway due to mental health issues. Deputies confiscated firearms and ammunition the man had at his home to prevent him from harming himself, and he was released Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Then, deputies were called again for a reported disturbance between the man and his wife. The man had gotten a gun, and deputies headed to his apartment around 3:15 a.m. Police were able to establish communication with the man, and spent several hours trying to convince him to surrender. Just before noon on Sunday, police determined the man had shot and killed himself.
