I wouldn't have called this an active shooter from that story. He either shot himself, or he was shot by police. If you have more info that says he was an active shooter, you should have posted it.

The situation began when police got a call about a man spotted in a window with a gun. He was reportedly threatening suicide.

Police immediately shut down streets in the area, surrounded the building and called in SWAT. Some officers were standing at the ready with guns drawn.

Shots were heard just before noon and SWAT officers moved in to the building. At that point, the window was broken and the suspect was no longer visible.

Police later stated that the man was dead. Further details about how the situation unfolded at the end of the standoff were not immediately available..
