A shocking and terrifying standoff is unfolding after a gunman fatally shot two police officers during a confrontation. Authorities confirm the suspect has barricaded himself inside his home, where he is now holding his wife and children hostage.
Officials say the man identifies as a self-proclaimed sovereign citizen, an anti-government movement notorious for clashing with law enforcement. Sovereign citizens reject the authority of police, courts, and government — a belief system that has led to numerous violent incidents across the globe.
