OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
New Castle deputies and SWAT were called to a home where a man was holding 2 people hostage. When police arrived, the 34-year-old still unnamed man shot and killed the woman and injured the other man. When SWAT made forcible entry, they used flashbangs and robots, fired on the man. He was later found dead from gunshot wounds. Police speculate that their bullet or his own may have killed him but have not determined this so far.
