HICKORY, N.C. — An hours-long standoff at a Hickory home Thursday night ended with police finding the suspect dead in the attic.
Police said they went to the home along Ninth Avenue Drive Northeast to serve warrants against a man connected to a shooting at the Legends Apartments last week but he wouldn’t come out.
The Hickory police chief said when they arrived, the unidentified suspect ran into the home.
The Catawba County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team started negotiations shortly after 6 p.m. until the standoff ended about five hours later.
Police told Channel 9′s Dave Faherty they hope to learn how the man died after an autopsy is complete.
