The article says:
"A Homeland Security agent verbally warned him to drop his weapon. The suspect turned toward the agent and then shot himself, police said.
The agent fired at the man at the same time the suspect shot himself"
Are TSA agents armed now? Or was that the police firing bullets?

Was it a FAM? Good point Otto (FAMs Under TSA/DHS).
One article stated that the FAM missed the shot:
Because of the nature of their occupation, federal air marshals (FAMs) travel often. "They rank among those Federal law enforcement officers that hold the highest standard for handgun accuracy. (Source: ^ a b c "Federal Air Marshals". Retrieved 2013-03-29.
