Bounty hunter commits suicide at police station
MOBILE, Ala. (AP)_A Mobile bounty hunter, known as "Road Runner," killed himself with a shot to the chest inside a downtown police precinct.
Corporal Marcus Young, a Mobile police spokesman, said 34-year-old Thomas Robinson was taken to the University of South Alabama hospital Sunday, where he died during surgery.
Young said an officer on duty at the small precinct tried to talk Robinson out of killing himself. No one else was injured.
Neil Watkins, a bail bondsman who said he was a close friend to Robinson, told the Mobile Register that the married father of five left a suicide note to his wife, Jackie, saying he killed himself over financial problems.

I'm wondering why he was in a police station at the time.

2 possiblities:
1) To be talked out of it
2) Committ suicide by Cop..When they wouldn't play his game, he did it himself.
Still a tragedy though.

Other possibilities are that maybe he wanted no question as to if it was really suicide, or because he did not want his family or a civilian to find his body and be traumatized by it. Cops are supposed to be used to bodies, I guess.
It is a real tragedy for those left behind to suffer and endure.
