Joshua Glover

How they died

Suicide

Joshua Glover reportedly went to his ex-girlfriend's apartment and fired shots through the door, which led to a hostage standoff that ended with the deaths of Glover, the ex-girlfriend's daughter, Danielle Weixelbaum, 18, and her neighbor, William Summers, 51, who was shot through his wall. Montrell Pickens, 22, was critically injured and two officers were shot and wounded. Police had responded to the Village Park at Woodgate apartments at about 2:50 a.m. after a disturbance and shooting was reported. Officers were directed to the third floor of Building 6 where they noticed that shots had been fired into the door, police said. The officers identified themselves and were reportedly shot as they tried to enter the apartment and returned fire. SWAT was called in because of concerns that there might have been hostages inside. According to police, the last reports of gunfire occurred just before 3 a.m. SWAT officers found the bodies of Glover and the victims when they went inside at around 6 a.m. Police said Glover's 35-year-old ex-girlfriend, the intended target, wasn't home. It was not reported whose gun the bullets that killed Summers came from.
