FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Fargo police tried unsuccessfully to coax an armed man out of an apartment building where he was holed up and threatening to harm himself. He later killed himself.
Police were on the scene for several hours Thursday night at the Cheyenne Estates apartments. Residents were evacuated as police set up a perimeter and tried to convince the man to come out.
Police spokeswoman Jessica Schindeldecker says it was an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
