A Logansport woman was left traumatized early Saturday morning, after being kidnapped at gunpoint by an acquaintance from work that ended quickly, with the suspect killing himself before police could arrive. 

According to the Logansport Police Department Timothy Allen, 49, kidnapped a 31-year-old work acquaintance by gunpoint while the victim had been at her place of employment. After restraining the victim, Allen took the victim to a remote wooded area around Logansport's 1800 block of 18th Street, where police first arrived. 

Logansport Police Department officers arrived on scene to find Allen had already shot himself, taking his own life. It is still unclear why the kidnapping happened, but speculations are that Allen had been infatuated with the victim. The woman was left physically uninjured and was soon released to go home to recover. The victim requested privacy while recovering from the ordeal. 

According to records, the call came in around 6:00 am Saturday about a kidnapping that had resulted in a shooting.
