UPDATE: Renton Man With 'Likely' Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound Found at Renton Technical College

UPDATE:

The man found in the parking lot of Renton Technical College was not a student, said Susanna Williams, a spokesperson for the college.

While the man had parked his car near what was formerly the Child Care Center on the north end of campus, the center was closed at the end of August 2011, so no youngsters were present at the time of the incident.

"We express our deepest condolences to the family," Williams said.
