A Cadiz man was arrested in Richmond Tuesday following a four-hour standoff with police.
52-year-old Thomas Birl was arrested and is considered the main suspect in the shooting of a Richmond couple.
The Richmond Register newspaper reported that 54-year-old Christopher Hager and his wife Gracie Hager were shot and killed Tuesday afternoon. Police said Birl barricaded himself inside a residence for four hours before surrendering.
The newspaper said Hager was the owner of the duplex where Birl was located and that he tried to set it on fire before his capture.
As of late Tuesday, police had not released Birl’s charges, and the Madison County Jail website did not list a bond.
