Tabitha McCree

How they died

Suicide

The first report of officer Tabitha McCree's death stated that she'd been shot by her husband and fellow officer, Jaimy McCree. Later reports said she'd shot herself. McCree, who was off-duty, had an argument with her husband, who was on-duty, at the Southwest District station around 11 a.m. According to later reports, McCree left the station and drove to a secluded area where she got out and shot herself in the stomach. McCree was taken by police car to a hospital, where she died. Jaimy McCree initially was a suspect in his wife's death, and early on, sources said she'd told police that her husband may have shot her.
