How they died
Suicide
Juan Silvas reportedly committed suicide during a 27-hour standoff. Silvas allegedly robbed a bank in LaGrange and led police on a chase before barricading himself inside an unrelated family's home Thursday afternoon. The people inside escaped safely, but Silva reportedly shot and killed their dog. Police sent in a robot on Friday and tear-gassed the home. Police entered at about 4:15 p.m. and found Silvas on the second floor dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
