A former leader in the Orange County, New York prosecutor’s office, who was facing allegations of accepting bribery payments, died in a shooting at his home Tuesday morning as the FBI arrived to arrest him, sources familiar with the matter tell NBC New York.

Stewart Rosenwasser, the ex-chief counsel to the Orange County DA’s office and executive assistant district attorney, was accused of using his authority in the prosecutors’ office to initiate a criminal investigation at the request of a millionaire former restaurant owner, according to the unsealed federal indictment.
