(CNN)A suspect shot three people and exchanged gunfire with police in a deadly overnight shootout and standoff at a Super 8 motel in Rockford, Illinois, authorities said.
The suspect in the shooting barricaded himself inside the motel, Rockford Police Chief Daniel O’Shea said in a news conference near the scene. Authorities forced entry into the room early Sunday and found the suspect dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, O’Shea said.
