Apparent suicide victim identified
By: North County Times wire services
SAN DIEGO - A man who fatally shot himself in his University City condominium during a standoff with San Diego police was identified Saturday as a 29-year-old student.
An autopsy is scheduled tomorrow on the body of Khaled Yasufi, medical examiner Investigator Sal Rodriguez said.
Police were sent to the 8700 block of Costa Verde Boulevard after someone reported a strong odor coming from a condo about 1 p.m. Friday, SDPD Sgt. Jim Schorr said.
A man in the condo told officers everything was fine and shut the door, Schorr said. Within a couple of minutes, a gunshot was heard, prompting police to clear the building, Schorr said.
Police eventually sent in a camera-equipped robot, which transmitted images of a body in the unit. When officers made entry after a standoff of about six hours, a chemical lab was found in the bathroom of the condo, police said.
Rodriguez said he did not know where Yasufi went to school.

Notice they don't say what the "lab" was set up to make. Actually it being in the bathroom, rather than the kitchen, makes it slightly less likely to be a bomb lab. Most of the easy to make stuff needs to be cooled as it's made, that would seem a bit easier in the kitchen, but of course it *could* be done in the bathroom as well.
