A man killed himself at Westwind Apartments north of Franke Park after barricading himself in his home and firing a gun, police said.
About 8 p.m. Tuesday, the unidentified man was reportedly threatening to shoot people inside the apartment building at 2200 Point West Drive, said Chris Felton, Fort Wayne Police Department public information officer.
Officers had arrived at the building and tried to talk to him. As they evacuated the building, they could hear the armed man continue with his threats to shoot officers and others.
Officers fired tear gas into the apartment in an attempt to get the man to stop shooting, but gunshots continued, police said.
