Woman Found Dead In House After Shootings And Police Standoff In Dallas
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A 26-year-old woman is dead, a man wounded and a suspect in custody after shootings and a standoff in Dallas.
The incident happened just after 9:00 p.m. Tuesday in the 6200 bock of Belgrade Avenue, near Parkdale Park, in the Buckner Terrace area.
When officers arrived at the home they were able to see two adult males -- one of them suffering from a gunshot wound -- and four children in a room. After going through a window officers were able to get both adults and the children out safely.
Negotiations then began with the male suspect over loud speaker. Eventually the 27-year-old followed verbal commands to exit the house and surrendered to authorities.
