WAUKESHA - Waukesha County authorities say a man apparently shot-and-killed himself, after he held an ex-girlfriend hostage and got into a police stand-off.

It all started on Monday night in the town of Lisbon. Sheriff’s deputies said the 29-year-old man beat the woman, held her at gun-point, drove her around while she was in a car trunk, and then beat her up again.

The woman escaped and called 9-1-1 on Tuesday after the man fell asleep. He then got into a standoff which forced officers to lock down the neighborhood.

Officers finally entered the house yesterday morning, and saw the man dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
