How they died
Suicide
Police identified Blanchard as the gunman in a hostage situation that shut down the Winn-Dixie store when Blanchard reportedly walked in with three weapons and ammunition and held his wife and police at bay for two hours. Police evacuated all but one employee and the armed suspect and a SWAT team surrounded the building. Police say Blanchard released the woman and minutes later walked outside the store and shot himself. He died after undergoing surgery at a local hospital.
