How they died

Suicide

Police shot John E. Todd after they said he shot himself in the head following a 3.5 hour standoff. Todd reportedly fired a shot as officers broke into his mobile home. Police apparently thought the gunshot was aimed at them, and two officers fired seven shots at Todd, striking him twice. Both wounds were nonfatal, according to an autopsy.
