Suicide

An unidentified man reportedly killed himself at his home during a standoff with police. Police said the man, who was alone in his apartment, called at 12:50 a.m. and said he was going to commit suicide. About a dozen officers responded, including a hostage negotiator and the special-response team. During the standoff, the man opened his door several times, holding airline-sized bottles of liquor in one hand and pointing a handgun at his chest with the other. He never threatened the officers, police said. At about 2:45 a.m., the man shot himself in his chest and was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
