GILBERT, Ariz. — A suspect was found dead while a SWAT team performed a search in a Gilbert home Wednesday morning.
The Gilbert Police Department SWAT team arrived at a home on Riggs Road and Adora Trails Boulevard in the Adora Trails neighborhood around 8:30 a.m.
Officers had a search warrant in an investigation regarding two drive-by shootings. One happened in Gilbert in December and the other was reported as a separate incident in Pinal County.
Once on the scene, officers called out for the suspect to come out of the house. When the suspect refused, officers went inside, police said.
Authorities said officers found the suspect dead in a room with what is believed to have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officials have not yet identified the suspect or given details regarding the investigation.
