Man shoots himself dead outside Texas Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne's home as she was INSIDE leaving her 'shocked'
A MAN took his own life in front of Texas Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne's home on Wednesday afternoon.
The Republican representative was home at the time and heard a gunshot outside of her house, her spokesperson Andrea Coker confirmed.
The man has not yet been identified, and police and the FBI said they are looking into a motive.
It's unclear at this time if Van Duyne knew the man.
Police told KXAS that they're looking into how he was able to get into the gated community that Van Duyne lives in.
Coker confirmed to KTVT that the congresswoman contacted the Irving police after she saw a body on her front walkway.
"The Irving police arrived immediately and made sure the area was secure, and she has been speaking with them since," Coker told the outlet.
"She is shocked and saddened that someone would take their own life. We have no further comment at this time."
