Fresno police revealed the name of the suspect, a former Madera County sheriff’s deputy, who shot himself with a police officer’s gun at Community Regional Medical Center on Monday.

The department’s Organized Retail Theft Tactical Team contacted Isaac Hare, 32, earlier that day about a grand theft case at the Best Buy in Fresno on Oct. 11, according to a Fresno police news release.

Police also suspected Hare of impersonating an officer at the same store. Investigators used a photograph of the vehicle he had driven to help identify him.

Hare agreed to meet detectives at the Northwest Policing District Substation, where he began resisting arrest. As officers tried to handcuff him, they tased him four times before subduing him. Police found a loaded, concealed firearm in his bag.

A search of Hare’s home uncovered multiple firearms, ammunition, law enforcement uniforms, and police equipment. Records confirmed he had previously worked for the Madera County Sheriff’s Office.

Hare ‘Committed’ to Taking His Own Life: Casto

Because he had been tased, police took Hare to Community Regional for treatment.

At a Monday news conference, Police Chief Mindy Casto said Hare, who had not yet been identified at the time, was briefly unhandcuffed. In a bathroom, he attacked an officer and took the officer’s gun, which he used to shoot himself.

“It was clear that he was very committed to disarming the officer today and taking his own life,” Casto said. “We’re just very grateful that nobody else was hurt.”

The Madera County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Hare had been an employee but could not immediately provide his dates of employment.
