Standoff with armed gunman ends in Bovina

A standoff between police and an armed gunman that had the town of Bovina on lockdown Sunday has come to an end, police say. But officials are not yet releasing details about the situation, or why it is no longer active.

Delaware County Undersheriff Craig DuMond said Monday morning that the standoff was over and County Route 5/Pink Street, which had been cordoned off near the house where the gunman was sheltering, was open once again. 

DuMond would not release any other information at this time. We will update this post when we have more information.

Update, 12:15pm: The gunman, 32-year-old Justin Geraghty, was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a statement issued at 11am Monday by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office.
