Hawaii man named in airport suicide
A man who shot and killed himself Sunday afternoon at McCarran International Airport was identified Monday.
Jonathan Richard Landrey, 47, of Hawaii died from a gunshot wound to the head, the Clark County coroner's office said. The cause of death was suicide.
Airport spokesman Glenn Gardner said the man arrived Saturday at McCarran on a Hawaiian Airlines flight. The spokesman said he had no other information about the flight.
Gardner said the man walked across a roadway Sunday and shot himself on the sidewalk in front of an entrance to Terminal 2, the airport's terminal for charter and international flights. The terminal is at the north end of the airport.
"That terminal's never really terribly busy," Gardner said.
No flights were affected.
In June 2006, Las Vegas police shot a knife-wielding man who had taken a boy hostage at the airport.
Two months ago, a woman was found hanged at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. She was found in a "secured bathroom" that was locked from the inside, and authorities said the death appeared to be a suicide.
