ANCHORAGE — The U.S. Marshals office says a man sought on a federal warrant killed himself Monday night in Anchorage as officers approached his motorhome.

Marshals said Brendan James Doyle shot himself at about 6 p.m.

Doyle was being sought as a felon in possession of a firearm.

Marshals and an Alaska State Trooper approached Doyle’s motorhome near an alley at the 900 block of east 12th Avenue, where Doyle had been living.
