DETROIT -- Police say a 14-hour standoff in Detroit has ended with the deaths of three women and the suspected gunman. Three officers were wounded.

Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said his officers used a robot Monday to enter a home and confirm the gunman and third female victim were dead from gunshot wounds.

Detroit police say the standoff began around 10:30 Sunday night in the house on the city's east side after two women were fatally shot during an apparent argument.

An off-duty Detroit Public Schools officer, who CBS Detroit reports is the husband of one of the victims, called 911. The off-duty officer had been shot and wounded, said Detroit Police Chief James Craig.

Good guys with a gun, yadda yadda.

I'd actually have more respect for the gun-enablers if they'd just admit that human life is meaningless to them.

And leave the others out of their need to kill

CBS Detroit identified the deceased suspect as 49-year-old Lance Smith. Authorities state Smith had no criminal history and had not had contact with police. He also had seven guns registered under his name as a Michigan concealed pistol license holder.
