HELENA, Mont. (AP) – The death of a man involved in a traffic stop turned police shooting last week in Missoula has been ruled a suicide. The Montana Division of Criminal Investigation reported Monday that Brendon Galbreath, 21, led police on a high speed chase that ended when he stopped the vehicle and an officer who saw him raise a gun and then heard a shot returned fire. According to his statement, dash-cam video indicated Galbreath died of a self-inflicted gunshot, and not the shot fired by the officer, which struck the car. The investigation is ongoing.
