Kingston, NY: Man kills himself at State Police Barracks

Man kills himself at State Police Barracks

KINGSTON – A man apparently despondent over a recent divorce killed himself in the parking lot of the State Police Barracks near Kingston, officials said.

The man, identified by police as Gregg Robinson, 63, of Woods road in Kingston, had a phone conversation with his ex-wife.

During the course of that conversation, he became more despondent and drove his vehicle to the rear of the barracks and got out with a rifle.

State Police members saw him and attempted to contact Robinson, but he shot himself before they could reach him.

His body was transported to Kingston Hospital pending an autopsy. The investigation is continuing.
