A gunman shot a police officer in Dortmund, Germany, then barricaded himself in an apartment with three children during a dramatic overnight standoff before surrendering to authorities in the early morning hours. The incident began Tuesday evening when the suspect's wife contacted police seeking help, after he had allegedly caused disturbances at a restaurant, threatened guests, and used tear gas spray. Police are now investigating the entire operation and the circumstances that led to the shooting and subsequent siege.
