Tampa Police are investigating an incident at 11201 McKinley Dr. where a man has committed suicide.
Police say just after 3:30 pm, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) staff received a call from a man who stated he was in the parking lot, threatened to have a bomb, and was also making suicidal statements.
Tampa Police arrived at the scene and located the subject in a blue vehicle in the parking lot.
As officers approached the vehicle, the man put a gun to his head, and officers attempted to engage the man in conversation, and he shot himself, police say.
Suspicious items, including wires, were observed in the car.
