FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The man who took his own life after grabbing a Fresno Police officer’s gun has been identified as a former Madera County Sheriff’s Deputy.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, Fresno Police identified him as 32-year-old Isaac Hare of Fresno.<\/p>\n

Hare was being investigated for retail theft and impersonating an officer when officers asked him to meet at the northwest Fresno police station.<\/p>\n

When he arrived, detectives attempted to arrest him but Hare resisted while allegedly trying to pull a gun out.<\/p>\n

Hare was tased multiple times before being placed in cuffs. He was then taken to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

There, during a bathroom break, Fresno Police Chief Mindy Casto says Hare attacked an officer, got a hold of the officer’s pistol and turned it on himself.<\/p>\n
