Police believe the gunman shot and killed his girlfriend, Carmen Kelly, and one of her children upon their arrival at the scene. It was during a wellness check that the dead body was found, but the man made police officers withdraw their attempts. The stand-off is now entering the 17th hour. Hopefully this is resolved soon and peacefully.
