Cop Who Had A Secret Life Of Crime Shoots Himself Twice In The Head When His Fellow Officers Corner Him

SPAIN- A police officer turned criminal who had a bullet in his head died after agonizing for hours in the Emergency Hospital.

Nicolás Loases (35) was a sergeant of the Police of Córdoba and had shot himself after stealing a car and being cornered by his colleagues.

According to what was reported from the health center, the death occurred minutes before 1:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Loases was the protagonist of a spectacular crime spree on Friday morning. It all began in Nuevo Poeta Lugones neighborhood, where he stole a white Chevrolet Prisma car from a woman at gunpoint.

The vehicle was found moments later in Puerto Rico 2000, in the Talleres neighborhood. It was abandoned there by the man who escaped on foot because he was being chased by the police. A video shows the seconds before the thief was shot and shows how he jumped over the fence of a house and tried to escape through the roof.

However, when he was cornered, he shot himself in the head at least twice. He was left lying on the porch of the house unresponsive and was transported to the Emergency Hospital. "He had a loss of encephalic mass, everything would indicate that he was shot himself", said a high judicial source
