Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

Officials in Wilmington say a 31-year-old man who allegedly shot three police officers during a domestic dispute barricaded himself inside an apartment for several hours before turning the gun on himself.

Officers from the Wilmington Police Department were called to the 2,400 block of North Market Street at 940 Wednesday night for a report of a domestic dispute in progress.

When police approached the apartment, officials say Bernard Goodwin shot three officers.

The officers were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

One of the officers has since been released from the hospital.

A large contingent of law enforcement agencies swarmed to the apartment building for about 12 hours to try to convince Goodwin to surrender.

A large spotlight was focused on the third floor apartment near the backside of the building

overnight. Residents located between 23rd and 27th Street from West Street to Carter Street were

asked to shelter in place for nearly 10 hours while police secured the area. Officers eventually

entered the apartment and found Goodwin dead from a self-inflicted

gunshot wound. According to an update from the Wilmington Police Department, SWAT officers

on Thursday morning used a ladder truck from the Wilmington Fire Department to enter the apartment

and remove three people, including a small child. So my brother's a police officer in California,

and he says, you know, again, the two things, traffic stops and

In a Thursday morning statement, Delaware Senator Chris Coons, who co-chairs the Senate law Enforcement Caucus, said he is praying for the injured officers and is grateful for their service.
