Three Hour Stand-off Ends in Suicide

After a three-hour standoff yesterday with a man who threatened to kill himself, police entered a house in the 3100 block of Gibbons Ave. in Northeast Baltimore about 10:15 p.m. and found the man dead from a self-inflicted bullet wound. The man's name was not released. About 7 p.m., the man's wife called police and said her husband was suicidal. She fled the house unhurt. During the standoff, the man fired shots in the house but not at police, who surrounded the dwelling and set up a command post. District detectives were investigating the incident.
