How they died
Suicide
An unidentified 53-year-old man reportedly killed himself after a one-hour standoff with police in rural Harvey County. At around 5:05 p.m., a deputy noticed a Ford Ranger pickup truck parked in a field entrance. As he approached, the deputy said he heard a single gunshot and saw the man slump over in the seat. The deputy backed away and told the man to get out of the truck, but he refused. Backup officers arrived from several agencies and tried to convince the man to surrender, but weren't successful, police said. Shortly before 6:30 p.m., the man reportedly exited the pickup, walked toward the field and shot himself in the chest with a .45 handgun.
