The incident happened just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20 in Lake Ronkonkoma.
The officers responded to a 911 call reporting an intoxicated and suicidal man with a handgun inside a home, located at 26 Wiggins St., according to Suffolk County Police.
Shortly after police arrival, Pedro Laureano, age 55, a resident of the home, exited the house and exchanged gunfire with an officer, said police.
Laureano then retreated and barricaded himself in the home.
A short while later, police heard gunshots and Emergency Service Section officers made entry into the home where they found Laureano, dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Homicide Section detectives at 631-852- 6392. The New York State Attorney General’s Office has been notified.
