Authorities say it appears the man found dead after a three-hour standoff in Turley on Friday, killed himself. That's the word from the state medical examiner.

Officers were trying to serve an arrest warrant for drug charges and child endangerment to 31-year old Gregory Farmer when police say he opened fire. After a near 3-hour standoff, the SWAT team found Farmer's body inside a travel trailer.

Investigators say a Tulsa County sergeant shot Farmer once in the wrist to disarm him. But they say it was Farmer who fired the fatal shot.
