A mentally ill man killed his elderly parents, barricaded himself inside their home and fired at officers during a four-hour standoff on Friday, police said.
Officers found the two bodies inside the house after Adrian Bonadie, 33, put down his guns and surrendered.
Officers arrived at the home after Bonadie’s sister called police to say she was worried about her elderly parents, Sergeant Robert Avels said. She told police her brother has a history of mental illness and was refusing to take his medicine and causing a disturbance.
“Family members described his behavior as extreme paranoia; people were trying to kill him, poison him,” police Captain Chris Weiske told reporters.
One of the bodies appeared to have been shot at close range, Avels said. Paramedics could not find an obvious gunshot wound on the other body and the cause of death was not immediately clear.
Bonadie was booked on suspicion of two homicides and attempting to kill two police officers who approached the home. No one was hit.
After a SWAT team responded, Bonadie came out of the house and stood there for 20 minutes, brandishing a gun in each hand and glaring at officers. Officers negotiated with Bonadie until he surrendered, Avels said.
Police found assault weapons, other firearms and ammunition strewn around the house, Avels said.
When Shanghai-based designer Guo Qingshan posted a vacation photo on Valentine’s Day and captioned it “Puppy Mountain,” it became a sensation in China and even created a tourist destination. Guo had gone on a hike while visiting his hometown of Yichang in central China’s Hubei Province late last month. When reviewing the photographs, he saw something he had not noticed before: A mountain shaped like a dog’s head rested on the ground next to the Yangtze River, its snout perched at the water’s edge. “It was so magical and cute. I was so excited and happy when I discovered it,” Guo said.
Chinese authorities said they began live-fire exercises in the Gulf of Tonkin on Monday, only days after Vietnam announced a new line marking what it considers its territory in the body of water between the nations. The Chinese Maritime Safety Administration said the exercises would be focused on the Beibu Gulf area, closer to the Chinese side of the Gulf of Tonkin, and would run until tomorrow evening. It gave no further details, but the drills follow an announcement last week by Vietnam establishing a baseline used to calculate the width of its territorial waters in the Gulf of Tonkin.

TURNAROUND: The Liberal Party had trailed the Conservatives by a wide margin, but that was before Trump threatened to make Canada the US’ 51st state Canada’s ruling Liberals, who a few weeks ago looked certain to lose an election this year, are mounting a major comeback amid the threat of US tariffs and are tied with their rival Conservatives, according to three new polls. An Ipsos survey released late on Tuesday showed that the left-leaning Liberals have 38 percent public support and the official opposition center-right Conservatives have 36 percent. The Liberals have overturned a 26-point deficit in six weeks, and run advertisements comparing the Conservative leader to Trump. The Conservative strategy had long been to attack unpopular Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but last month he
Four decades after they were forced apart, US-raised Adamary Garcia and her birth mother on Saturday fell into each other’s arms at the airport in Santiago, Chile. Without speaking, they embraced tearfully: A rare reunification for one the thousands of Chileans taken from their mothers as babies and given up for adoption abroad. “The worst is over,” Edita Bizama, 64, said as she beheld her daughter for the first time since her birth 41 years ago. Garcia had flown to Santiago with four other women born in Chile and adopted in the US. Reports have estimated there were 20,000 such cases from 1950 to
