OMAK - A 52-year-old Cameron Lake man shot himself in the head with two handguns simultaneously during a suicide early June 8 in front of Mid-Valley Hospital's emergency room.
     Chris Ausum was spotted on a surveillance camera that monitors people outside the hospital, which is locked at that time of the night, Omak Police Sergeant Don Eddy said.
     A female employee, thinking the man wanted inside, went to open the door for him when he pulled the handguns around 1:37 a.m. and shot himself, Eddy said.
     Next of kin have been notified, he said.
     "Apparently there was no foul play," Eddy said, noting a complete report had yet to be made.
