A 34-year-old Ocklawaha man who reportedly was threatening his family with a gun and a knife committed suicide early Sunday as members of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team closed in on him, according to a sheriff’s office media release.

Deputies were called about 1:30 a.m. because Kevin Roger Bailey was brandishing the weapons “in a threatening manner” near 12220 SE 124th Court in Ocklawaha, according to the release. Several members of his family were injured. “

As deputies arrived, Bailey reportedly fired the weapon. It’s not known if Bailey aimed at law enforcement,” the release stated. After firing, Bailey reportedly ran into a nearby woods.

The SWAT team was called, and as members of the unit moved closer to finding Bailey, “he committed suicide,” according to the release. The investigation is continuing.
