HOLLYWOOD (CBSMiami/AP) — A man took his own life after an hours long stand off in Hollywood on Sunday.

Police were called to the home by a woman who said the man had beaten her earlier in the morning before she and one child were able to flee the house. The woman told authorities a second child remained in the house with the man.

The child was released unharmed after the man was contacted by police negotiators. A SWAT team was finally sent in and they found the man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The man, described as being in his early 40s, was not identified by police Sunday.
