Gunman in courthouse shooting took his own life The gunman in Monday's courthouse shooting in Wilmington fired a fatal shot to his own head. The medical examiner's office has ruled 68-year-old Thomas Matusiewicz of Texas died of suicide after he engaged in a gun battle with Capitol Police Officers Michael Manley and Steven Rinehart, who were saved by their bullet-proof vests. Matusiewicz took his own life, but not before killing his daughter-in-law, Christine Belford, and her neighbor, Laura Mulford. The Newark women were fatally shot in the chest. State Police say Matusiewicz's son David was already inside the NCCo courthouse for a child support hearing when the shooting happened. David Matusiewicz is now being held pending a hearing on a violation of his probation.
