Suicide

A standoff that began at about 6 p.m. Thursday reportedly ended at around noon Saturday when Charles C. Knaebel shot himself. Deputies initially responded to a mobile home park after a caller said she and her dog were shot by her neighbor. Deputies found Knaebel had barricaded himself inside his mobile home with his two children. Overnight Saturday, officers used sounds, flashing lights and conversation to keep Knaebel awake. By Sunday morning, police said Knaebel's moods were erratic ranging from conversational to threatening the lives of officers. At 12:10 p.m., the children walked out and were taken away from the scene. SWAT team officers stormed the trailer and found Knaebel inside dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
