A Cathedral City man fatally shot himself Thursday evening inside a pickup truck near Panorama Park, according to police.

The incident occurred on Tachevah Road and Avenida Maravilla after police responded to a call about a man threatening suicide.

When officers went to the residence in the 68400 block of Espada Road around 6 p.m., the 58-year-old man wasn't there. His family members told police they were concerned about the man, who left home with a gun, police said.

A short time later, police spotted the man driving his truck in the area. They attempted to stop him and a low-speed pursuit followed.

After the man stopped on Tachevah Drive, officers approached his vehicle and heard what sounded like a gunshot. They called in an armored rescue-vehicle to help safely position themselves to approach the truck, police said.

When they got to the truck, they found the man with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
