Interesting scenario. It would be an interesting creative writing exercise.
Regarding the gun. I suspect it could be a murder. The gun in the victim's lap isn't the one they used to kill themself, but was instead planted by the murderer, after which he walked away with the murder weapon, perhaps down the block, to work on his car.
To wear said gun while working on car isn't the most intelligent decision - and given the switcheroo plan, such a decision wouldn't be consistent with his intelligence - but I suspect it's possible. Perhaps he was cocky and wanted to toy with the officers, as serial killers have been known to do; making it a sort of game.
