Tampa, Fla. (970 WFLA)-A Tampa man threatening to harm himself, started a four hour standoff with police after he barricaded inside his Colonial Hill Drive apartment, refusing to come out.
32 year old Austin Story shot at police several times during the ordeal. Members of the Tampa Police Departments Tactical Response Team fired back and threw a gas canister into the apartment, prompting Story to walk out. No officers were injured.
TPD Interim Chief Brian Dugan commended the officers involved for showing tremendous restraint - even after being fired upon several times.
