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.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (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?
