The Marlins just arrived home in Miami on Thursday afternoon after a road trip. It's unclear if he was alone or with some other teammates, but backup catcher Brett Hayes' Twitter feed shows the progression from joy to sorrow.

Just heard on the radio that a police officer was shot by the guy we saw. Please pray for that officer.

As it turns out, the man Hayes saw is now dead -- after he shot two police officers, whose wounds are said to not be life threatening.
More details are available at CBS Miami.
