James Dunn, 65, of Beverly Beach, apparently despondent over failing health, shot and killed himself with a 25 caliber automatic pistol, late Monday night.

According to Lt. Donald Bullock of the Flagler County Sheriff's Department, Dunn was found dead from a gunshot wound in the chest at his home at space 18 Beverly Beach Mobile Home Park.

Dunn's wife, Avis, called the Sheriff's Dept. shortly after 10 p.m. to report that her husband had a gun and was threatening to kill either her or himself. Officer’s Grady Prather and David Higgenbotham arrived at the mobile home, and found Dunn dead.
