Clarence Temple

How they died

Suicide

Clarence Temple reportedly shot himself during a standoff that began after he'd forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's apartment and taken three people hostage. Police arrived at about 4 a.m., after the woman called and said Temple was holding her and two men hostage. The woman and one of the men managed to escape; the third hostage was later released. Officers tried to convince Temple to surrender, but weren't successful. At around 6:30 a.m., a robot with a camera found Temple dead inside the apartment.
