A SWAT standoff in Colleyville ends with one person hospitalized with a self-inflicted gunshot.
A standoff in Colleyville that forced residents to remain in their homes for several hours came to an explosive end Friday afternoon.
Dallas Police said their Fugitive Unit was surveilling a possible aggravated robbery suspect that led them into the city of Bedford. Bedford Police were called for assistance with a traffic stop at about 10:30 a.m. That person was finally stopped on Brentwood Court, a cul de sac in Colleyville. Police said the man exited his vehicle with a gun in his hand, but he didn't point it at anyone or fire it.More than three hours later, at about 2 p.m., police said explosive, non-lethal distraction devices were used to try to end the standoff. Police said the man then grabbed the gun off the hood of his car and shot himself.
Police have not released any other information about the man or his prognosis. No officers or residents were injured.“I was standing in the front yard and heard two gunshots and then a gray SUV came flying out from a block around the corner, crossed over in a four-way intersection and got trapped in the cul-de-sac down the street here,” neighbor Brandon Hopper said.“I've been moved a couple of times because they said we were in a line of fire,” neighbor Joshua Gettig said.
