James E. Smith, confronted by a sheriff and a deputy with a

warrant for his arrest on charges that he killed his estranged wife,

first tried to take his own life by stabbing himself. When that

failed, he charged at the law officers, who opened fire, killing

him. Two headlines on a story in Saturday's MetroNews section said

he committed suicide.
