Two Dead Following Standoff In Dolton

A man and a woman were dead following a standoff in south suburban Dolton on Tuesday.

Witnesses said a gunman apparently killed the woman at her workplace before officers shot and killed him as he exited the building.

But video obtained by CBS 2 of what the suspect was doing just seconds before he was shot was raising eyebrows.

CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports that it began just before 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon with a call to police about a man holding hostages at the Illinois Vehicle Insurance company on Sibley Boulevard.
