Woman released, gunman dead in Kamloops standoff
Jessica Lepp of CJNL Kamloops covered an incident last night where a man took a woman and her four children hostage. The children escaped and the woman was freed several hours later, however the man is dead after a massive fire engulfed the home. Here is Lepp's twitter account of the incident.
- Police in position waiting outside home. 1male one female in side. Possible gun shot #kamloops yfrog.com/h31cbkjj
- 2 girls 2 boys between ages 7-13 all safely evacuated home in Dufferin. Family recently moved to #kamloops from #Barnhartvale
- Another crazy night in #Kamloops ... 4 Police standoffs in 2012 already in the area. Good on @JessicaleppNL for sticking it out.
