DETROIT — A hostage standoff in Grand Rapids, Mich., ended late Thursday when a man suspected of shooting seven people to death, including his daughter and another child, earlier in the day killed himself as the police were instructing him on how to surrender, the police said.


The man, identified as Rodrick S. Dantzler, shot himself once in the head at 11:30 p.m., about four hours after leading the police on a highway chase, crashing his vehicle and kicking in the back door of a nearby home, taking three occupants hostage, Chief Kevin Belk of the Grand Rapids Police Department said. Mr. Dantzler was pronounced dead at the scene. /NEW YORK TIMES
