How they died

Suicide

Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a man's home to investigate a reported domestic situation involving his girlfriend, police said. Gracy left the home in a van and passed deputies who were en route to the residence. Gracy fled in the other when deputies attempted to pull him over, eventually stopping. Deputies were talking to Gracy and directing him to get out of the other when he retrieved a firearm and shot himself in the head.
