Agee said Tummons had been facing financial difficulties of late and was aware that officials were moving forward with foreclosure proceedings on his property.

"He knew it was coming," Agee said. "They had talked with him since mid- to late February."

Agee said the process servers met Tummons at his door, asked him to gather his things and then waited outside his home. He said Tummons did not seem resistant to the officers' requests.

"About 20 or 30 minutes went by and they checked back and asked him how it was going," Agee said. "He said, 'OK, give me a minute,' and then a few minutes later they heard the shot."

this would be it. I'm not saying I wish he had gone out
in a blaze of glory, defending his own god-damned home,
but if he's going to give up his own life anyway, it would
have definitely made a powerful statement if he had.

On the other hand, what he did DOES make a powerful
statement, which I respect and honor.

It's all so very sad, especially for his family & friends; too
bad corporate America is so utterly heartless, in the crimes
they commit, that fly byinvisibly under the "corporations-are-
people/business as usual" corporate banner.
