Rickey Gordon Mills

How they died

Suicide

Officers were first called to a home after issues of domestic conflict were reported between a man and his wife, police said. The wife told officers that her husband had multiple guns in the home and that she was in fear for her safety because he had fired a shot. She said he also made statements that he would harm himself. The woman was able to get out of the house safely. SWAT then tried for hours to contact the husband inside the home. Eventually, they broke into the house and found the man dead of a self-inflicted gunshot.
