Anton Lamont Burnes

Suicide

Officers responded about 6:15 p.m. to a report of a man walking with a gun, and they found the man firing a handgun from the pedestrian bridge. A Bloomington officer fired his service weapon at the man, but it was not immediately clear whether he was struck by the gunfire. The man continued shooting his handgun from the pedestrian bridge for the next 10 minutes, but police did not return fire. Anton Lamont Burnes eventually climbed outside the bridge's safety fencing and shot himself, falling onto the I-494 below, killing himself.
