CyberNET Group CEO killed during standoff
http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2610146&nav=0RcdTV24

(Ada Township, November 24, 2004, 10:50 a.m.) Barton Watson was found dead in his home after being involved in a standoff with police.

The incident follows a federal investigation of The CyberNET Group in Grand Rapids that began last week involving a massive fraud probe.

The incident began when police say Barton Watson called them around midnight saying he wanted to hurt himself. Authorities came to Watson's house in the hopes of stopping him from harming himself. They talked with Watson for sometime and knew he was alone in his house with a gun.

"Within an hour of us coming out here, around 1:00 or 1:30 a.m., officers did hear gun shots within the house. They didn't feel that those were shot towards the officers, but that did concern the officers on the scene," Sergeant Roger Parent of the Kent County Sheriff's Department told 24 Hour News 8.
