Police standoff ends with apparent murder-suicide

Metro Police said a standoff with officers Saturday night ended in an apparent murder-suicide.

Police said an elderly man called police at 7:34 p.m. Saturday and said he had killed his wife. When officers responded to the residence on Maryland Parkway, they tried negotiating with the man, but he committed suicide later in the evening, she said.

Police said they found the man's wife dead inside the home with a gunshot wound.

The Clark County Coroner's Office will determine the official causes of death and release the names of the couple. Officials weren't releasing other details this morning.
