St. Petersburg Police SWAT Team at Home in Shore Acres

The St. Petersburg SWAT team was outside of a home in the area of Carson and Shore Acres Boulevard.

They responded to the home about 9:05 PM after receiving a call from a concerned friend.

Officers had reason to believe a man inside the home may be armed and suicidal.

Officers heard what they thought was a gunshot. After several attempts to contact 54 year-old James Scott Dion failed, SWAT officers entered the home shortly before 2AM.

When SWAT entered the home they found Dion dead from a self inflicted gunshot.
