Veronica Hobley Leath

Suicide

Officers S.C. Foster and C.K. Overstreet responded to a shots fired call at Coppertree Village Apartments. Leath's granddaughter told the officers that Leath was unbalanced. Officers went to Leath's apartment and tried to reason with her. Leath, threatening herself with a handgun, shouted at the officers and told them that she was high on cocaine. Sergeant Farquhar responded and called for a SWAT unit. Leath shot herself in the chest. She was also the subject of a mental health call in 2005.
