Someone shooting themselves because they got caught with a stolen bike is pretty extreme. I'd say that dude has got some issues.

Seems that there were some details left out, huh?

I heard on the racdio initially that he dropped the firearm, it went off and shot him....

As ever - probably more to this than meets the eye.

Mind you - I should never any more be surprised by what some folks do!
