At around 2 a.m., Roger W. Adams reportedly rammed a company truck into the loading dock at the Schneider National facility, attempted to set fire to the building, and then engaged police in a 10-hour standoff. Police said Adams told negotiators he'd been injured while driving for Schneider and had been off work for about four weeks. At about 11:50 a.m., police fired tear gas inside. Adams then reportedly shot himself in the head and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
