According to news reports from WXIA-TV NBC 11 Alive, Atlanta police used a TASER(r) device to end a nearly three hour standoff early Monday morning after reports of a domestic assault.
When police reported to the residence on Atlanta Avenue they were met outside the home by the bloodied assault suspect who was holding two knives and had self-inflicted wounds on his throat and neck. Police learned that three other people were injured inside the home.
After more than two hours of negotiating with the suspect, police were able to corner him on the front porch and deploy a TASER device to bring the suspect into custody. All three victims inside the home were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
