A standoff between U.S. Marshals and a Cleveland Police officer accused of sexual assault at W 165th St. and Lorain Road is over after the suspect shot himself in the chest.

Officials say Officer Tommie Griffin III took his own life using an AR-15 firearm after officers entered the home following an 6-hour-long standoff.
