Some craziness in Valpo today - hostage situation?

[MilitaryArms]

Yup, the good news is no one but the gunman was seriously injured.

It would appear the boys in blue did a good job containing the situation and negotiating the release of the hostages.

Yes sir, a great job done by all the local agencies. Valparaiso Police, Valparaiso University Police, Porter County Sheriffs, Porter Police, Chesterton Police, Valparaiso Fire, Porter County SWAT and FBI. If I missed any, I apologize, but it appears they all kept the situation very well under control. And we no hostages were hurt.

I work literally just a few buildings down connected to the Chuck's Bakery building. I work at Sherwin-Williams. Everyone around town seemed nonchalant about the whole situation. Hell a lot didn't even know what was going on. I wasn't able to see much since the perimeter was blocked off at a good distance. I'm still pretty surprised this happened literally 2 or 3 buildings down from me.

The suspect supossedly shot himself twice in the head, .........t.

Shot himself "twice" in the head?

Glancing shot at first? Maybe he didn't really want to do it?

It was blocked off well from South Calumet, but at the intersection, people we standing along the burms at K-mart and First Source Bank Just watching. IMHO, I think the North, East and West side should've been sectiong off further out, but I guess they couldn't disrupt too many business? All in all though, still handled very well...

Maybe he flinched?
