Ellis County Sheriff
A 34-year-old Pennsylvania man shot himself in the head with a handgun Monday morning just west of the front gate to the Ellis County Sanitary Landfill.
At 10:32 a.m., dispatchers received a call from a male stating he was "parked at the Environmental Office and was going to kill himself and to send someone to pick him up."
Officers arrived minutes later and found a body in the grassy area just west of the building. The man was transported to ER where he died.
The investigation is continuing.
