An overnight standoff at a north Seattle home ended when police discovered the man inside had killed himself.
Spokesman Mark Jamieson says it began about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday with a domestic violence call. A woman said the man accused her of cheating and punched and strangled her.
The man was gone when officers arrived. The woman and a 1-year-old child who was involved were treated at a hospital for scratches and bruises.
Jamieson says the man returned to the home, called police demanding to know where his family had gone and threatening to kill himself.
Police surrounded the home. The man refused to negotiate or come out. A SWAT team entered the home about 3 a.m. Wednesday and found him dead from a self-inflicted shot to the head.
