SWAT team officers found a 58-year-old woman dead of a gunshot wound late Thursday after being called to a south Lincoln home because she was suicidal, a police spokeswoman said.

At about 7 p.m., the woman’s husband called police to the home near 40th Street and Pine Lake Road because she had a gun and was threatening suicide, Officer Angela Sands said.

Dispatchers told the husband to leave the house.

The SWAT team arrived, but the woman wouldn’t answer her cellphone or speak to a negotiator through the intercom system police used, she said.

When police still hadn’t heard from her, they entered the home at 11 p.m. and found her with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police did not fire their weapons and did not report hearing a gunshot, Sands said.

An autopsy was being conducted to confirm the cause of death.
