Burlington police confirmed two people died Thursday after an hourslong standoff.
Police responded about 6:45 p.m. to the 1400 block of East Victoria Avenue, after a caller reported that a friend called to say he had shot and killed his wife.
When police arrived, they made brief contact with the man, but he fled back into his home, according to a news release from the city.
Crisis negotiators were unable to get in contact with him, the release states. Police eventually flew a drone into the residence, and confirmed the man and a woman were dead.
