A gunman who was involved in a hostage situation and a long standoff with law enforcement in a Bovina house on Sunday is dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, Delaware County sheriff's deputies said in a statement released at 11am Monday.
The gunman was identified as 32-year-old Justin Geraghty, a parolee who was wanted on an arrest warrant from the New York State Division of Parole for violation of parole, and another from the Delhi Police Department for first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and petit larceny.
Reporter Julia Reischel has eyewitness accounts from yesterday's standoff, and we will be posting a more detailed story shortly. Embedded below is the official statement on the incident from the Delaware County Sheriff's Office.
