Man Kills Himself in Standoff With Police
An 18-year-old Chicago man wanted for questioning in the shooting deaths of his father and five other people killed himself after a standoff with police, authorities said.
Immanuel Phillips shot himself in the head about 7:30 a.m. in a South Side hotel room, after defying police for about six hours, officers said.
Hours later, police said they had identified a second suspect in four of the slayings, which occurred in a house next to Phillips’ home.
Police had been talking to Phillips by telephone, Police Supt. Terry Hillard said. He noted that officers did not storm the room before the shooting.
