Greenville, NC: Greenville County Standoff Ends, One Man Dead

By Tripp Messick


A standoff in Greenville County ends with one man dead. It started when a man shot at deputies on Arch Street in Greenville County. Deputies were called out to the home around 5:00pm after a man locked his wife out of the house. The man was wanted on domestic violence and firearm charges.

Deputies tried to talk the man out and that's when officers and neighbors heard gunshots. Deputies called for back-up. Around 7:00pm, SWAT officers fired tear gas inside the home and went in. They say the man had apparently shot and killed himself. The Greenville County Coroner's Office has not released the man's name.
