Four people have been killed after a gunman barricaded himself inside a house in a Denver suburb with at least three hostages, according to reports.
The suspected hostage-taker was believed to be among the dead at the home in Aurora, Colorado.
Local media reported that police used tear gas to try to get the gunman out before killing him during a shootout at about 8:30am.
Police believe the three other victims are related to the suspected hostage-taker, and were killed before police arrived at the scene.
Police Sergeant Cassidee Carlson said a fifth person escaped uninjured, but did not elaborate.
Police and SWAT teams had surrounded the home around 3am after responding to a report of gunshots being fired and determining that a man was barricaded inside.
Officers had been negotiating with the man and several homes in the area were evacuated.
This situation comes just two days before the preliminary trial for suspected Aurora movie theatre shooter James Holmes is set to begin.
Holmes, 25, is accused of opening fire on a crowded theatre on July 20 during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
Twelve people were killed and at least 58 injured.
