DULUTH - An autopsy revealed that a man who shot at his estranged wife and a police officer Thursday was killed by police, not his own gun. <br> <br> Gwinnett County&#39;s medical examiner said Friday that Roman Khaimoc was hit by several rounds, none of which came from his own gun. <br> <br> Khaimoc held police on a two-hour standoff in a suburban home north of Atlanta. Officers fired at him after he shot at a police officer, hitting her twice in the leg. <br> <br> But when officers sent a police robot into the home and learned Khaimoc was dead, they weren&#39;t immediately sure whether they&#39;d killed him or he had shot himself. <br> <br> Duluth officer Jill Maders was expected to recover from her wounds, as was Khaimoc&#39;s estranged wife. <br> <br> Gwinnett police planned to investigate the incident.
