Four dead in hostage-taking in Aurora, Colorado

AURORA, COLO., - A gunman who barricaded himself inside a townhouse after killing three people in the home was shot to death by police on Saturday in Aurora, Colorado, the same Denver suburb where 12 people where slain in a movie house massacre last July, police said. The gunman and his three victims, as well as a woman who fled safely from the home at the outset of the violence and alerted authorities, were all believed to be related to one another, police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson said. But the motive for the killings was not immediately understood.
