Russell Graham reportedly shot himself outside his house as police responded to a call that he was threatening to kill himself and his 8-year-old son Zeus Graham. According to reports, "When officers arrived they began to approach the residence. (Russell) Graham observed that the officers were on scene, he took the .12-gauge shotgun, which he was carrying, turned the gun on himself, and instantly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head."
