Neighbor: Man killed in standoff wanted to die
A friend who was on the phone with a Snellville man Wednesday during his four-hour standoff with police doesn't blame officers for shooting him. "I have no quarrels with police," said Sonja Lawson, a friend of 40-year-old Selwyn Myron Heath. "They did everything they could." A deputy fatally shot Heath Wednesday afternoon following a four-hour standoff at his house on Skylar's Mill Way. The deputy, whose name was not released, is on routine administrative leave pending an investigation, according to Gwinnett County sheriff's spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais.
