Gunman kills himself as SWAT teams storm real estate office after he released hostages during stand-off with police

A gunman who took 10 office workers hostage on Friday after bursting into an Indiana real estate office forcing a dramatic stand-off with police has shot himself, police said. He was rushed to a local hospital where he died of his injuries.

Two loud bangs were heard Friday afternoon before SWAT team members broke windows and rushed into the Prudential Executive Group Real Estate office in Valparaiso, where police said the gunman had holed up.

Valparaiso Police Chief Michael Brickner said officers determined the gunman had shot himself twice in the head, and believe he had done so before they entered the building. It is thought the gunman was upset over a real estate deal and was demanding his back money.
