A standoff with a Jackson SWAT team ended Tuesday night when a 45-year-old man shot and killed himself while barricaded in his home, police said.
Carl "Andre" Conway shot himself in the head with a handgun after the SWAT team threw in flash bombs during the two-hour standoff near Orchard View Drive and Plantation Boulevard, according to Chief Lee Vance of the Jackson Police Department.
Conway also shot his dog inside the house. The condition of the dog was not released.
Police were trying to serve a warrant for two armed robberies. During the negotiation, he yelled out, “I don’t want to go back to jail,” investigators said.
The handgun Conway used to kill himself matched the description of the weapon used in one of the robberies, police said.
