COLLINSVILLE, Ill. -- Authorities say a man who wounded his live-in girlfriend before engaging police in a six-hour standoff died after shooting himself.
Madison County Sheriff's Capt. Brad Wells says 48-year-old Mark Dodson's body was found early Thursday in a Collinsville home after authorities forced their way in.
Investigators say Dodson shot his girlfriend about 10 p.m. Wednesday. That victim managed to run to a neighbor's house for help. She was treated at a hospital for facial and shoulder injuries that aren't considered life-threatening.
An autopsy on Dodson is planned.
Authorities haven't said what caused the dispute.
