Lengthy SWAT Standoff Over Foreclosure Ends in Suicide

October 27th, 2007

Freedom, for an increasing number of Americans, means choosing how they’re going to go down.

Falling Down, for real…

Via: Houston Chronicle:

A 12-hour standoff ended this morning with a north Houston man lobbing Molotov cocktails at Houston Police before taking his own life rather than vacate a home he’d lost to foreclosure.

James Hahn, a chemist, had told police he would not be taken from the home alive, said Capt. Bruce Williams, an HPD spokesman.

” ‘You know what I do for a living and you know what I am capable of,’ ” said Williams, recalling one of the conversations police had with the man on Wednesday.

The standoff began at 1:10 p.m. Wednesday when police said Hahn pulled a gun on Precinct 4 constable deputies who had attempted to serve him with a warrant for eviction at the home in the 21000 block of Covington Bridge in Spring, authorities said.
