Police responded to reports of a man who was threatening to shoot his wife. At some point after officers arrived, the man opened fire at officers, and several police departments from the surrounding area were called to assist at the scene. Dozens of officers surrounded the home, and a short time after shots were fired the home somehow caught fire with the man still barricaded inside. Just after 11 p.m., state police said a negotiator was attempting to contact the barricaded man and that the rear of the home was in flames. After the fire was extinguished, police said the body of the suspect had been located inside the home, and he was dead from a gunshot wound, although it wasn't immediately certain who fired the bullet.
