LITTLE ORLEANS, Md. (AP) — The Latest on a standoff that ended with a suspect dead and two officers wounded (all times local):
12:30 p.m.
Maryland State Police say a standoff that ended this morning with a suspect dead and two troopers wounded began with a domestic violence call just before midnight.
Officers say the man's wife told police that they were arguing when her husband pulled out a gun and said "this ends today." She said they struggled and fell and the gun went off before she escaped to a neighbor's house to call for help.
The police statement says troopers established a perimeter around the house in Little Orleans, Allegany County. Police said he refused to surrender and said he was not coming out.
