SWAT callout ends after homicide suspect takes his own life inside the Holiday Inn Express in Festus.
Detectives, Negotiators, and SWAT officers were at the hotel throughout the night, attempting to take a man into custody. Around 7:00 this morning, the man shot himself and was found dead inside a hotel room. No shots were fired by officers, and nobody else was hurt.
Investigators believe the suspect is responsible for the death of a woman who was found dead yesterday, 2-14-26, in a home in Fenton.
Hotel guests were evacuated for their safety and are now being allowed back into certain areas of the building.
The investigation is ongoing. More information will be released later today.
@JABsMusic@ScottKennebeck I was there. Do you see me? ๐
Honestly though, I think more people were there than not. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
Today, we proudly join in recognizing the dedication and service of law enforcement officers across the nation. From local, state, and federal agencies, these brave men and women answer the call every day to keep our communities safe. Thank you!
