HTN: Tragic Standoff in Ken-Bailey

A Buffalo man is in critical condition after police say he killed his girlfriend and shot himself. Police say 29-year-old Jesse Jones kept authorities at bay late Tuesday night and into the early morning hours on Wednesday by holding three small children hostage in the home on Millicent Avenue. Investigators believe Jones killed the 22-year-old mother of three before they arrived Tuesday night about 11:30 PM. During the four hour hostage standoff, authorities say Jones threatened to hurt the children. Cops say he then turned the gun on himself. All three children were rescued safely. The woman's body was found in the bathtub.
