POT SHOP SHOOTING TURNS FATAL

Bakersfield Police say a man has died following a shooting inside a pot shop on Golden State Avenue.

Officers were serving a search warrant around 1:45 Monday afternoon when the suspect barricaded himself inside a room at the Green Moon Dispensary. They believe he then shot himself in the torso and died a short time later.

Three women were escorted out of the shop before the incident.

BPD had visited several dispensaries on Monday as part of city-wide raids.
