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.
