Antonio Barber

Suicide

Antonio Barber, a former Flint officer who was fired over allegedly stealing a football video game seized during a drug raid, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot during a nearly nine-hour standoff with police. Police said Barber barricaded himself inside a Maple Park Terrace apartment at about 2:30 p.m. after two teens called 911 to say they and their mother had been held hostage by Barber for about 13 hours. The mother ran out of the apartment when police arrived. Police said officers discovered Barber was dead at around 11 p.m.
