Cops just chased a guy into the parking lot out our back door. I'm upstairs in a two story building seeing everything. Guy stops halfway down lot, exits vehicle, pulls a 1911 from waist and puts it to his head. Continues walking across lot. He eventually stopped, kept his back turned to the now growing number of LEO's. They're yelling to drop weapon, he yelling something inaudible back. After 2-3 minutes of this I heard it. Looked back out window and he's slumped on ground.
Ambulance was in no hurry.

This was heavy on the police's mind I'm sure. The parking lot is a Municipal/City owned lot. This transpired right around 4:00PM. The lot is always busiest early morning, lunch time and late afternoon. The area where this ended is basically a choke point where most folk that park here walk in/walk out. Someone thought that it might turn real bad as there were no less than 3 ambulances lined up in the street on the other side of our building before it was over. Many pedestrians returning to their vehicles would not have been able to see what was going on until they were almost on top of it.

I'll bet most of the folks that work on that end of main street park there.
