Jeremy Gudorf, 33, shot himself inside his car at a train station in Revere, Massachusetts, as troopers from the Massachusetts State Police approached him that Friday morning, according to NBC10 Boston. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.


The incident occurred at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Wonderland station, where state police’s Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, Revere police, and U.S. Marshals had been searching for the commercial pilot from Xenia, Ohio. As authorities closed in, Gudorf revealed a firearm and abruptly shot himself, according to Massachusetts State Police spokesperson Tim McGuirk, as reported by WCVB.


Gudorf was initially handcuffed at Boston’s Logan International Airport on February 20 after U.S. Customs and Border Protection discovered a warrant for his arrest from North Carolina related to a child sexual charge. He was about to take off for Paris when he was removed from the aircraft.


He faced charges in Huntersville, North Carolina, for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, as well as a charge in Massachusetts as a fugitive from justice. A federal judge in Boston had set his bail at $10,000, with the condition that he turn himself in to law enforcement in North Carolina. It remains unclear if he ever did so.
