Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

An unidentified man described as troubled by neighbors and friends called police at about 10:30 a.m. and said he was barricading himself inside his home with a gun. Police cordoned off the street, and a negotiator talked by phone with the man, who reportedly held a gun in his hand throughout the standoff. At 12:40 p.m., police said they were trying to persuade the man to come outside, drop his weapon and lie face down on the ground when they heard a gunshot and discovered the man had shot himself.
