HOSTAGE STANDOFF: Firefighters Injured, Suspect Killed Near Atlanta

Four firefighters who were held hostages were slightly injured, and the gunman holding them was killed, after police stormed the residence where they were being held Wednesday evening in Suwanee, Georgia.

The four firefighters were slightly injured when police entered the home and one of the officers was shot, but none of their injuries are considered life-threatening.

Initially, five firefighters were taken hostage by the suspect when they responded to what was reportedly a medical emergency. One of the firefighters was released so he could move a fire truck parked in front of the house.

The suspect was reportedly upset because his home fell into foreclosure. Among his demands was to have his power turned back on.
