There’s a hostage situation going on in Springfield that began earlier this afternoon. SWAT officers responded to a domestic dispute when shots were fired inside of a home near 35th and Main Streets. The dispute apparently involves a man and his ex-wife. From what I heard on my car radio, a nearby middle school was locked down and surrounding streets were closed. I have no idea what’s going on now because I don’t have access to a TV in the Commentator office, but I bet it involves a lot of tear gas.

UPDATE: The situation ends as a murder/suicide, sadly.
