An officer with the Montgomery County (MD) Police Department who was found shot atop a Silver Springs parking garage had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to officials.

Bomba had called over his radio that he was responding to "disorderly subjects" on Monday evening. Moments later, backup officers arrived and found Bomba wounded.
