MANSFIELD, Ohio — The suspect in a double shooting in Mansfield is dead following a “lengthy standoff” with the Allied Special Operations Response Team.
Mansfield police say two victims were located at a residence in the 500 block of South Main Street when officers responded to the scene late Sunday night.
“The suspect had fled the area on foot and was located two houses away,” according to a press release from police, which noted the suspect then barricaded himself inside. Police say the occupant inside was able to flee when the suspect entered the property without permission.
Once officers entered the residence, Mansfield police say the suspect was found dead upstairs from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect's name has not been released.
The two shooting victims were taken to a local hospital. Their condition was not reported.
“The Mansfield Police Forensic Science Section responded once search warrants were prepared for the residences and processed both addresses,” police noted.
No additional details were immediately available.
