PITTSBURGH — The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office has identified a man who police believe shot himself to end a standoff in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount Lebanon.
Police say officers were trying to serve a protection from abuse order on 51-year-old Ronald Giron Wednesday afternoon. Police say a standoff resulted because Giron had a gun, so officers backed off and requested backup. Police attempted to negotiate with the man but he broke off contact at around 6:15 p.m.
When police entered his home, they found him dead.
