There is currently a coroners inquest underway, but it does indeed
look like it was self inflicted... and it took him awhile afterwards
to actually pass away after the act due to his rather bad aim and
messy results due to the poor aim (Secret Service Pistol Championship
Belt Buckle notwithstanding).

I had been screaming for several years that he was a serious danger
to himself and to others, and I guess I was right on the money... It
is just fortunate that nobody else got too seriously injured and that
he wasn't successful in his threats and attempts to kill federal law
enforcement officer like he had previously stated he was going to do.

Neighbors reported that from the time of the gun shot to the time the
ambulance arrived was around 30 minutes, and that the country crime
lab was there through the entire weekend removing things, and
interviewing folks nearby.

Seems that over the weekend the crime scene investigators removed
several hundred pounds of explosives from his house, hundreds of
bugs, several computers, and many, many, many boxes of business
records and files. BATF, and other federal agencies was also on
scene, and the confiscation included live hand grenades, parts
suspected to be for illegal machine guns, and other interesting
"technical things" that are likely to get a number of his business
associates (including several TSCM people) unemployed and paying
large sums of money to their criminal defense attorney.

I should add the correction that his ham radio call-sign was WA3SWS,
not KA3SWS.
