“He got out, and walked over to a couple of cars,” Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Deputy Thomas Gilliland said in an interview with Eyewitness News. “He was speaking to people, went back to his vehicle, and walked around the car. He got back into the car, and indications are now that he shot himself inside the vehicle.”
Witnesses said the man, who is currently unidentified, drove his car a few feet away and then committed suicide.

“Something apparently triggered him to do what he did other than a car accident,” Gilliland said further. “Indications are now that he did turn directly into pathway of cars. It does seem deliberate.”
HCSO officials say they are currently investigating the accident, the latest theory being the man shot himself purposefully.
May this victim RIP.
