At Rest

Suicide
James R. Ahart reportedly killed himself during a standoff. Just after 8 p.m., Cindy R. Ahart, 46, was shot at her residence. Witnesses identified the shooter as James Ahart. James Ahart was located later at his residence, and Cole County sheriff's deputies and Jefferson City Police Department SWAT set up a perimeter. At 5 a.m. the Troop F SWAT team relieved the JCPD team. After numerous attempts to contact Ahart, the MSHP Division of Drug and Crime Control robot entered the apartment and located Ahart in a back bedroom. Ahart died from what police believed was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This record exists so that James Ahart, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
