Man turns gun on himself in front of the police

In front of police officers in Royston, Georgia, a man shot and killed himself.  Georgia’s state police are investigating what happened yesterday afternoon at a home on Royston’s Cook Street.  At the request of a woman who made a 9-11 call, the police went there to see about the man’s behavior.  According to Lake Hartwell Radio WLHR, the police believed they had convinced the man to voluntarily leave the home and seek mental health assistance.  But, GBI agent Jesse Maddox said, without any warning, the man produced a handgun and shot himself.
