Two men were found dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide at a Watsonville home on Wednesday night after a nearly seven-hour police standoff.



Police are not yet naming the men, pending notification of their family, but said they are related and lived at a house in the first block of Lawrence Street.




Around 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday, police received a call from a relative reporting a domestic disturbance at the house, but the caller did not indicate that any weapons were involved, Deputy Police Chief Rudy Escalante said.




Officers arrived at the home about five minutes later and a man answered the door.




An officer talked to him through a screen door for a while and then convinced him to come outside, Escalante said.




The officer noticed that the man had a hand injury and asked him whether anybody else was inside the house and if they needed medical attention.




The man told the officer there was someone inside and that he had been shot, and then ran back inside.




The officer followed him and saw a man lying on the floor in the living room with a "significant amount of blood" around his head, Escalante said.






He said the man appeared to be dead.






The man who answered the door then ran into another room.




When the officer tried to go after him, the man shut a door in the officer's face, Escalante said.






He said the man started firing shots through the closed door and that the officer returned fire...

Police in Grand Rapids tried to talk an agitated Rodrick Shonte Dantzler into giving up late Thursday.




They said his thoughts seemed to swing between surrender and asking officers to shoot him.




"He was talking about coming out, giving himself up," Police Chief Kevin Belk said. "He decided at the last moment to fire the gun."




The 34-year-old ex-convict from Grand Rapids killed himself with a single shot to the head, ending the standoff with his hostages unharmed.


But authorities say Dantzler left behind a pair of bloody crime scenes — the result of an unexplained rampage in which he killed his daughter, an ex-girlfriend and five others, including a second child...
