ANCHORAGE — The woman who shot herself in the head after threatening to do so if convicted killers were not released has died.
KTUU reports that the woman was identified as Amanda Bee, 31. She died at Providence Hospital just after 9 p.m. Monday.
An on-going investigation into the incident is underway, and her body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy.
Bee approached the Spring Creek Correctional Center late Monday with a firearm and threatened to shoot herself if inmates were not released. It’s unclear if she was seeking the release of a specific inmate.
Several SCCC officers and staff witnessed Bee shoot herself and immediately gave her medical attention until an ambulance arrived to take her to a nearby hospital.
