ADAMS, Neb. (AP) - Law enforcement in the small southeastern Nebraska town of Adams have found a man dead after he allegedly shot his wife, then held officers at bay for several hours.

The Nebraska State Patrol says in a news release that the events began late Monday night, when a woman called 911 to report her husband had beaten her, pointed a gun at her and shot her in the hand as she pushed the gun away.

She and her children were able to flee the home. Deputies and a patrol SWAT team surrounded the home and tried repeatedly to contact the man inside. He was found hours later inside, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His name was not immediately released.
