Officers responded to a shooting in-progress call at the above address and found the suspect had shot his rommates (victims).  The suspect then barricaded himself inside the apartment with the female victim.  Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT)  team and the Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) both responded and were able to get the female victim out of the apartment.  HNT attempted to get the suspect to surrender.  During negotiations, officers heard a gunshot.  At that time, entry was made and the suspect was found deceased with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
