John Anthony Little

How they died

Suicide

John Anthony Little barricaded himself inside of a home around 5 p.m. Police said he shot someone, kidnapped a woman, and later was spotted by officers walking down Division Street with a pistol to his head. Little did not respond to officers' orders to stop, and he walked to his mother's house nearby. When officers tried to get him to leave the home, he allegedly fired several shots at officers. Officers tried different strategies outside of the house for Little to show signs of movement. After no response, officers entered through a window at approximately 3:30 p.m. and found Little in the back of the house, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
