Brandon Crownover

Suicide

A caller told police her son was threatening suicide. He had a gun, she said, and had already cut his wrists, according to police. The caller was outside the house and a girlfriend inside the house soon left. Police arrived and blocked Silent Grove Road while they contacted Crownover by a cellphone. Police, looking through the windows, could see Crownover set down his gun several times, but he picked it up and walked out of sight, and police heard the gunshots that presumably killed him.
