Former Maryland Official Commits Suicide During FBI Arrest Attempt in Knoxville, According to DA

The Knox County District Attorney announced that no criminal charges will be filed against FBI agents involved in the fatal shooting of former Maryland official and federal fugitive Roy McGrath in Knoxville earlier this year. McGrath sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head while FBI agents attempted to arrest him on charges including wire fraud and theft. An FBI agent fired a shot simultaneously when they realized they were in the trajectory of McGrath's firearm. The medical examiner was unable to determine which gunshot wound caused his death. The district attorney's office concluded that the agent's use of deadly force was justified in self-defense.

The Rise and Fall of Roy McGrath: From Bureaucrat to Fatal Confrontation with FBI.

Roy McGrath, a former Maryland state official, died in a confrontation with FBI officers who were attempting to apprehend him. He had been a fugitive from justice since March 13, when he missed a court appearance in Baltimore at which he was set to face charges of fraud and theft that centered on a $233,000 severance payment he arranged for himself to receive as he was leaving the Maryland Environmental Service to work as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s chief of staff. McGrath's problems began when he tried to begin running MES like “he was a Fortune 500 CEO, instead of the executive director of a part of state government.”
