Police Standoff in Aurora, Colorado

Early Saturday morning, a woman fled from an apartment complex that was being held hostage from a gunman. The woman that fled the apartment, uninjured, reported to the police she saw the three victims, dead, once she heard gunshots at about three in the morning.  Once the police showed up at the scene, they tried everything from calling the gunman on the phone, using bullhorn commands, and tear gas to get the gunman to come out of the building. According to reporters, five hours into the incident SWAT was called in and drove an armored  vehicle into a window of the house, which caused the man to fire at the vehicle, the police didn't return fire. Minutes after the vehicle incident the man once again started firing at the police from an upstairs window, this time the police returned fire and killed the man. No officers were injured and the  names of the victims are to be announced.
