ORIGINAL PATCH STORY:

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — A man is dead after police returned fire during a standoff Saturday morning in Lilburn, according to authorities.

Police responding to a domestic incident at a house on Bent Willow Drive found an injured female victim in the backyard, said a spokesperson for the Gwinnett County Police Department. They also found an armed suspect who had barricaded himself inside the house.

After officers tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the suspect, they called the Gwinnett County SWAT team. When SWAT negotiations broke down as well, the suspect came out of the house and shot at SWAT officers. One of the officers shot back and hit the suspect, according to police. The suspect died at the scene.

The suspect has not yet been publicly identified by authorities. The Gwinnett County Police Department has called the GBI to handle the investigation.
