OGDEN, Utah (AP) - Police say a standoff with a suspected car thief in Ogden ended with the man committing suicide.
Ogden Police Lt. Scott Conley says a SWAT team was called in about noon Tuesday after detectives were told that the suspect who barricaded himself inside a home intended to shoot it out with police.
Three neighboring homes were evacuated while police tried to talk to the man over a PA system. The SWAT team also used a shield and flash bangs to place a phone inside the dwelling before determining later that he had shot himself.
Conley told the Standard-Examiner (https://tinyurl.com/ko47o2h) that the suspect had a criminal record and a current warrant pending for his arrest. His name has not been released.
