8+ hour #police #standoff in West #HumboldtPark #Chicago.
On a rooftop, old man w/ a gun, #flamethrower & #nazi flag. Loud siren, music, racist recordings.
Neighbors said he'd done this often, fired before. Locals wrote letters to the mayor & gov about him (said to be a squatter). Officials unable to enter, called police.
ChicagoPD said #gunman was dead when SWAT finally made entry.
