Former Idaho state Rep. Brandon Hixon (R), who was facing a sexual abuse investigation, has shot and killed himself, the AP reports.
“Officials have released no details about the criminal investigation into Hixon, 36, except that it was related to possible sexual abuse. Records obtained by The Associated Press show that he was previously the focus of a separate police investigation in 2014 after being accused of inappropriate touching.”
