Suicidal

The shooting occurred after police were called to a domestic disturbance and the suspect pointed a gun at his mother and a sergeant

Investigators said the victim "didn't have the apparent intent to harm" officers with the weapon

The officers, who spent close to 90 minutes talking to the man, had just gone through training for this type of situation

“I can tell by what he was saying … by him not jumping and continuing to talk to me … that he wanted to live,” the officer said

A combination of factors enabled talking down an agitated subject in possession of two knives

Three Pinellas County deputies are being credited with a rescue of a young suicidal man who was on a railing.

On Monday morning, a 39-year-old man thought his only option was just past the edge of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Police found an opening to pull the man to safety and used it swiftly.

The suicidal man hurled his body over the overpass, which hung about 60 feet above the highway.

Police in New York talked a man off of a beam on the Verrazano Bridge just days after another man jumped.
