How they died
Suicide
Brian Komarek reportedly killed himself during a nine-hour standoff. Police said that at about 2 a.m., Komarek's sister reported that he'd threatened suicide. Komarek allegedly brandished a rifle when officers arrived, and went back inside. Police set up a perimeter and notified the HPD Special Situation Response Team. At about 6;30 a.m., the KBI's High Risk Entry Team arrived and officers tried to contact Komarek through a loudspeaker in an armor-paneled truck, but got no response. Officers broke a window and sent in a mobile camera device. Seeing no movement, police went inside at about 11:25 a.m., and found Komarek dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
