Perhaps Dykes committed suicide by putting himself between the two of them?

Perhaps authorities set one off and it got Dykes and they opened the bunker?

And he shot himself?

No teevee at my place, so I'm not seeing what you are. There will still be terrible trauma for this youngster that will follow him his entire life.
