ROCKWOOD, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee authorities are investigating the death of a 58-year-old Roane County man following a shooting involving a police officer.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Tuesday that it initially appeared Quintin Swicegood of Harriman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound but that an autopsy was planned as part of the investigation.
The release said Rockwood police officers responded to a report of a person who was possibly suicidal and located Swicegood in a parking lot. The TBI said preliminary information indicated officers arrived and Swicegood produced a handgun.
