"There was a negotiated release of a 12-year-old boy who had been in the house. The woman had gotten out previously and was providing us some information about what was occurring inside," said Asst. Chief Steve Deardorff of the La Porte Police Department.
Officers entered the home when they heard a gunshot. They say the 42-year-old man shot himself in the chest. He was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.
