A standoff in Paxton is now over. The episode, which began Thursday afternoon, came to an end this morning. It all ended within the last hour.

Police reported a man barricaded himself inside a home on Eastview Drive around 4 o'clock yesterday (Thursday). Several neighbors reported it started as a domestic dispute. The unidentifed man's wife was able to get out of the house. The wife had told police her husband had made suicidal threats.

Authorities report the man was taken to the hospital with two self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The wounds were not life-threatening.

Police say, neighbors who were evacuated, are now free to return to their homes.
