I'm definitely glad the threat is gone, and I certainly don't feel any sympathy for the man. I do, however, feel some pity for his parents, who, I'm sure, will be heartbroken to hear the news of their son's wrongdoings and eventual death. They are in my prayers, as are the families of everyone involved in the drama of the past couple of days.

Here as well. I understand.

Agree 100 percent - I did some online nosing around and I think he may have several younger siblings, and it is very likely they will be reading this if they aren't already.

Glad everyone was safe -- great job law enforcement and SoWallers in keeping people informed.

I checked here before WMBB or the Daily News. Sowal was my go to for news once again. I am so glad this is over with all our friends both law enforcement and residents safe!
Our Sheriffs Department did a great job! Keeping people around the area under cover was a great idea!

Michigan but someday in SoWal as well
Thank you everybody for all these posts and thanks to SoWal.com (yet again) and to Kurt for creating this online community that keeps people informed (not only entertained) - even me here in MIchigan. My thoughts have been with you all. I could vividly picture what was happening as the situation evolved. I'm glad you are all safe and free to enjoy your yards and beautiful SoWal again. Kudos to the police and other officials for doing their jobs. And sympathies to the young man's family.

Well...smiling joe was right...he did have another gun...he shot himself right behind my neighbors house. They are still proccessing the body in the crime scene. Police tape is draped down the back of my fence to the other yard where he is. There are unconfirmed rumors that his was hiding in the shed in the empty lot next door. Very very creepy. I called the police around 10:45 Fri. because I heard noises either against the back of my house or on the closed doggie door. They responded but found nothing...now I'm not so sure it was nothing. The WCSO did a great job though, all of the other counties and agencies that responded were impressive. I am glad no officers were harmed, I am glad none of my neighbors were harmed, I am glad its over!!! And I agree with the post from earlier LETS HAVE A BLOCK PARTY!!!!!

I think my dogs and cat were onto something at 7:30 this morning- all were way too interested in the side woods and the busted picket on my fence (that wasn't busted yesterday- we had been checking the fencing for the dogs). I've never seen a cat stand at attention, watch, and listen for a whole minute before. Anyway- Will just found barefoot footprints heading toward the fence- and we are never in that part of the yard....
