Lloyd Wayne Franklin

Suicide

When police knocked on the door to a room where a man suspected in a North Carolina double slaying was staying, he apparently figured he'd been caught and took his own life shortly after firing at the officers and missing. But the officers knew nothing of the North Carolina crimes and were there to arrest another man in the room on a parole violation. Police said that an autopsy confirmed that Lloyd Wayne Franklin died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
