The officers approach the eyeglass section in the front of the store and walk into what seems to be an examination office.
After turning the corner in the offices, they find the suspect, who is now known as Benjamin Jones, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
One officer can be heard saying, “Got him,” while another says, “Shooter’s down.”
