DUNDALK, Md. — A tragic end to an armed barricade that lasted several hours in Dundalk.
Local residents and schools were ordered to shelter in place Tuesday morning as SWAT teams surrounded a home on Gray Manor Terrace.
A resident reported their home being hit by gunfire around 7:30am.
As detectives assessed the damage, a neighbor started shooting. After returning fire, police declared a barricade.
Following hours of failed negotiations, Baltimore County Police say the alleged gunman took his own life.
A woman was found safe inside the home.
The ordeal caused several area schools to go on lockdown, including Battle Grove and Charlesmont Elementary, and General John Stricker Middle.
It's unclear what led the gunman to initially open fire. His name was not released.
