Update: Standoff With Yonkers Police Ends With Suspect's Death

YONKERS, NY — UPDATE: At 7:48 p.m. Saturday, Yonkers Police issued the following statement, "The crisis negotiation event has ended. Members of the Emergency Service Unit (ESU) made entry into the home and discovered the subject deceased."
