How they died
Suicide
Derrick Outten reportedly killed himself after a four-hour stand-off with police. According to police, a woman had called at about 7:15 p.m. saying that her husband was armed with a handgun and threatening to kill himself at her Plaza West apartment. Police said negotiators tried to convince Outten to surrender and get mental health care. The JCPD brought in an armored other which they said allowed officers to move in closer to the building. Negotiators used a public address system to try to re-initiate communication with Outten, but weren't successful. Tactical officers fired tear gas into the apartment. A short time later, a shot was reportedly heard. Police entered the apartment and found Outten with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
