My apologies if this has already been covered.
I was just browsing another forum. Apparantly they did not pat him down well enough. He was a suspect involved in the shooting of an officer. They lead him into a questioning room. He sat there for a moment, then pulled a 1911 out of his pants and shot himself in the head.
There is a video of this that I viewed on the other site. I figured I wouldn't post the video link as it is graphic. Not as graphic as a lot of things, but definately "rated R"
If a mod tells me I can post the video link, then I will.
For now, here is a news story on it.

Calif. Man Shoots Cop Then Kills Self While in Custody
SAN BERNARDINO: The sheriff says he wasn't searched properly. The suicide was videotaped.

MUSCOY, Calif. -- A man who shot and wounded a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop in Muscoy on Friday morning killed himself an hour later while alone inside a sheriff's interview room with a pistol he apparently sneaked into the building, officials said.
Sheriff Gary Penrod said officers failed to adequately search the man, identified by the San Bernardino County Coroner's office as Ricardo Alfonso Cerna, 47, of San Bernardino.
The deputy shot during the traffic stop, Mike Parham, 31, is in critical but stable condition and is expected to recover, officials said.
In an extraordinary move, a 13-minute surveillance-camera video that included footage of the man's suicide was shown by the Sheriff's Department to reporters, the leaders of local Latino groups and officials from the Mexican consulate to quash any questions regarding the department's treatment of Hispanic subjects.
