Hostage and gunman dead.
Story over.
Well, that’s sad. Hope he didn’t leave more dead bodies at the house.
How can you tell?
Sad, I guess that the gunman accomplished what he came to do.
Hopefully over. Not good that they are going to his house though. Darn. Why do they have to take people with them?
HPD spkspersn coming now ... update: while trying to establish communication, they heard one shot ... they went in and found suspect dead ... then they found another person, a male hostage, dead from the earliest minutes ... another hostage, female, who had been duct-taped ...
Presser on....suspect shot himself in the head. Hostage dead and another one tied up?? Duck Taped....male hostage deceased. Female ok....
Police conf:
While police tried to establish communications, heard a shot. Entered. Perp dead.
1 hostage dead.
1 hostage (female) releashed, being checked for injuried, had been taped.
Relationships unknown.
Crap. Murder/Suicide. That’s what I was worried about... See my post 413...
.357 or .38 compact handgun
More HPD ... no, they never established communication ... unknown if note found ... he does not have names or IDs at this time ... duct tape had been on feet and arms of hostage ... families may or may not have been notified, he can’t tell at this time ... he has not spoken to the female himself, she is being treated by paramedics now ... weapon used was revolver, snub-nose, maybe .38 or .357
I almost wish that officer would draw his gun and tell the media to STFU and stop screaming at him! Just wait your turn or I will shoot!
The guy on the left has a $400 haircut, I do believe. LOL
2 shots out of a snubbie revolver. MSM unhappy it wasn’t a 15 round semi-auto.
You know the MSM and anti-gunners have to be pissed about that.
Demoncrats were hoping for an evil semi-auto with GASP HI CAPS!!!
I gurantee you, VPC and Brady folks, just sighed when they heard that little tidbit.
What a shame.
Section 8, US Constitution, regarding powers of Congress:
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;National parks, national monuments (eg, the park in Philly where the Liberty Bell sits), and post offices are federal land. Something for CCW holders to remember.
So sad that it is true.
HPD more ... did first witness see suspect shoot the hostage? he doesn’t think so ... the two dead are still inside until ME’s come ... hostage appeared to have been shot in chest cavity area ... suspect, one gunshot wound to the head
