Winder standoff ends in suicide

By Tim Bryant

A standoff that started Monday ended Tuesday, when a Barrow County man shot and killed himself at a home in Winder. The Barrow County Sheriff’s Department says 22 year-old Jesse Plunkett committed suicide after deputies surrounded his home; he was in the house with a woman who had called 911 11 hours earlier. Deputies eventually tossed teargas into the home, went inside, and found Plunkett’s body.
