Fugitive Shoots Self, Ending 9-Hour Roseland Standoff: REPORTS

CHICAGO — A man wanted in a nationwide manhunt is believed to have shot himself after an hours long standoff in the Roseland neighborhood, news reports said.

Lander Coleman, 43, was on the run since May 18 allegedly for shooting his ex-girlfriend and two children in Matteson. The woman reportedly had a restraining order against him.

The standoff unfolded late Thursday evening near 95th Street and Perry Avenue. The FBI moved in to assist Matteson police, who feared Coleman might be trying to leave the Chicago area after a national warrant was issued for his arrest.

Authorities said Coleman displayed a weapon when he became aware of police presence just before midnight, the Sun-Times reported. Nearby neighbors were evacuated from their homes by police. The standoff ended nine hours later with a single gunshot.

"He stood up, sat down, all with a gun to his head. He took his clothes off, all with a gun to his head," neighbor Tanya Brewer told ABC 7 Chicago.

The standoff lasted into Friday morning and ended with a single gunshot. Coleman was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
