             The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has been informed that a preliminary autopsy report by the Okaloosa-Walton Medical Examiner’s Office, along with investigative information provided by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, indicates Mark Reed Rohlman died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.

         Rohlman did suffer two wounds from bullets fired by a Special Response Team member(s), but the Medical Examiner’s Office says neither of those wounds was life-threatening. One bullet struck Rohlman’s right elbow. The other struck his left thigh region.
