Man surrenders to Connecticut police after 3-day standoff

MILFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man believed to be armed has surrendered to police after a three-day standoff in his apartment. Police in Milford say they took the man into custody Friday afternoon. The unidentified man had claimed his landlord locked him into his apartment overnight Tuesday and that he had tried to shoot the lock off. Police responded to the scene and even cut off gas and electricity to the apartment to try and get him to come out. Hearst Connecticut reports officers believed they saw the man with a shotgun or other long gun but haven't been able to confirm whether a shot was fired in the apartment.
