Mark A. Holcomb

How they died

Suicide

Four officers approached Mark A. Holcomb outside his auto body shop after a caller reported he was threatening to harm himself. Witnesses reportedly told investigators they saw Holcomb draw a handgun and shoot himself. However, the DCI confirmed that officer Pat Jans also fired one shot. An autopsy report said the bullet from Jans' gun grazed Holcomb, but did not contribute to his death, which was ruled a suicide.
