The man who police say threatened to shoot himself and fired shots at officers outside Mobile Government Plaza was loaded onto a stretcher and put into an ambulance.
MPD Chief Paul Prine said the man shot himself. He was taken by ambulance to University Hospital. His condition was unclear.
Leading up to 3 p.m., gunshots were heard at the scene of the standoff that began five hours earlier. James Barber, chief of staff for the mayor’s office, told FOX10 News the man inside the car fired two shots at officers. Barber described them as “provocation shots.” Police did not fire back. Police received a report around 10 a.m. indicating a person inside the car, a silver Honda sedan, in front of the Plaza had suffered a gunshot wound. When emergency responders arrived to render assistance, the man inside the car held a gun to his own head and threatened to shoot himself, according to Mobile Police Cpl. Katrina Frazier.Police earlier in the day said the situation was “contained” but advised citizens to stay away from the area.
Barber said officers who initially responded noticed blood on the man inside the car and that they pulled back when he presented a firearm.
