Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

An unidentified man reportedly committed suicide during a police standoff. Officers had responded before 4 p.m. after a neighbor reported seeing the man's distraught wife outside the residence. The woman had reportedly left after an argument turned physical. Police arrived and set up a perimeter. The woman reported hearing a gunshot in the house, so the special response team was called in. Officers tried to contact the man by phone, but got no response. About two hours later, officers broke into the house and fired a distraction device. The officers found the man in the front room with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.
