PITTSBURGH - Police in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount Lebanon say a man who barricaded himself inside his home has killed himself.
Police say officers were trying to serve a protection from abuse order on the 51-year-old man Wednesday afternoon but he had a gun and officers backed off and requested backup. Police attempted to negotiate with the man but he broke off contact at around 6:15 p.m.
When police entered his home, they found him dead.
Several nearby schools went into lockdown during the standoff.

(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
