How they died
Suicide
Michael R. Long reportedly committed suicide after he took an officer's gun and used it to hold several people hostage for three hours inside the Wheaton Bank & Trust. According to police, the officer had responded to a fake traffic accident report in the bank's parking lot at around 1:30 p.m. when Long allegedly overpowered him and stole his gun. Long then fled into the bank and ordered the 10 to 12 people inside to the floor, police said. Officers negotiated with Long over by phone, but Long eventually shot himself with the gun, police said.
