Woman Rescued, Man Found Dead After 18-Hour Standoff in Connecticut: Police

Crisis negotiators and SWAT responded to the scene. For hours, regional crisis negotiators attempted to reach the man who was inside with a family member.

Early Thursday morning, police heard a woman yelling in distress, conducted a hostage rescue operation and rescued her from the house. She did not appear to be injured and was taken to the hospital to be evaluated, police said. Inside the home, police found a man dead on the second floor. He had what police called an apparent gunshot wound. The medical examiner will determine the cause of the man's death, but police said they believe it was self-inflicted. They said no officers involved fired any weapons.

Investigators have not released information on the relationship between the man and the woman but said it was a close relationship. They have not released the name of the man because they are notifying family, according to a news release from police. School officials said Melissa Jones Elementary and Baldwin Middle School would have a regular school day but would forgo any outdoor activities until the situation was resolved. They said all doors will remain locked as always.
