Suicide Follows Stand-off

By Carrie Pond

Murray, KY – An apparent suicide followed a three-hour standoff Monday. The Calloway County Sheriff's Department was asked to look in on Gary Bishop of Coles Campground Road. Detective Samantha Mighell says upon further research, officers discovered there was an FBI arrest warrant for Bishop on charges of federal fraud. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade Bishop to leave his residence, a Marshall County Special Response Team entered and found Bishop dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Authorities believe the wound to have been self-inflicted.
