Suicide

An unidentified man reportedly killed himself in a taxi as police closed in on him. Police said the man told the driver to wait as he entered a Bank of America branch in West Rogers Park. The man allegedly demanded cash, saying he had a bomb and a gun. Police said an officer saw a "suspicious" man exit the bank with two bags and enter the cab. After about a mile, police forced the cabbie to stop. According to police, the man shot himself in the back seat, and the officers did not fire.
