About Me

My photo
Durham, NC, United States
As a photojournalist my principal interests are spot news, fires, etc. I also like to see the humor in everyday situations. In my 42 years as a photojournalist I have seen a lot of people die. First, during the Salvadoran Civil War, and since then, on some of the 'mean streets' of my adopted hometown......still, a great little town all the same!

Barricaded suspect threatens police, finally gives up !

Uniformed officers, left, watch as SET Team members move in on a man who barricaded himself inside a warehouse at 607, Ellis Rd on Friday morning. The troubled suspect threatened to kill himself or any police officers coming to the scene. In the office he was locked inside he apparently had access to acetone and other flammables and police were concerned that he might torch the building so the area was evacuated. About 1 pm the suspect finally gave up after a negotiator talked him out.
