VIDEO: Man shoots himself after police called over horses

February 9, 2010


A still from the WRAL video of the story (below).

A man fatally shot himself in North Carolina after police went to his property to investigate a report of dead horses.

Officers from the Duplin County Sheriff's Office found 13 dead horses on Sunday morning at the property on Tram Road, near Mount Olive.

The 43-year-old male occupant of a mobile home on the property refused to come outside to talk to police.

Local reports said police subsequently tried to execute a search warrant and the occupant shot himself.

State authorities are investigating the incident.

The dead man has been named as 43-year-old Clifton Jacobs, who rented the property.

Reports indicate police had been called to the property twice before over complaints about the horses.
