This is really breaking, but I wouldnt dare post from work. 500 blk of Francis street in west end. Male shot earlier, suspect reportedly holding a hostage inside the house. Incidents are on Tac3, Spec Events 2.

Tact (or SWAT) is on scene.

They are cutting the power now at 1607hrs (per scanner reports)

signal 09? like DOS?

 

[TechnoDave]

Yeah, considering my position, I didnt want to post anything other than the signal code until it was released to the media. Yes, there were two decedants in the house, a male and a female.

very interesting and sad. I hope it wasn't a murder-suicide inside the house. And does anybody have an update on the original gunshot victim? Last I heard he was at UAB - no condition given.

A news report yesterday reported him in critical condition. I believe he was shot in the head.
