A JETBLUE pilot who was facing child sex charges has fatally shot himself in the parking lot of a bustling train station.
Jeremy Gudorf, 33 years old, was found sitting in a parked car at the Wonderland MBTA station in Revere, near Boston, when he took his own life with a gun upon being approached by Massachusetts State Police.
Prior to the tragic incident on Friday, Gudorf was the subject of an outstanding warrant and was under scrutiny by state police, local authorities, and US Marshals, as reported by WBZ-TV, a CBS affiliate.
“When they approached the man seated in his vehicle, he revealed a firearm and abruptly shot himself,” Massachusetts State Police told the outlet.
Gudorf was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The disgraced pilot was arrested at Boston’s Logan Airport on February 20 as he was getting ready to board a flight to Paris.
US Customs and Border Protection were notified that Gudorf had a warrant out of North Carolina for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
A his hearing on February 21, Gudorf’s attorney told a judge his client intended to travel back to North Carolina to answer to the warrant.
Gudorf was released on $10,000 bond with the condition that he turn himself in to authorities at North Carolina by February 25.
However, a warrant was issued for Gudorf’s arrest after he failed to return to North Carolina.
