Three are dead, two others wounded after standoff near Toledo



SWANTON, Ohio (AP) -- A man killed himself and two children Saturday after a standoff with police at his northwest Ohio home, authorities said.
Clarence Saunders, 58, Lauren Saunders, 10, and Jacob Saunders, 5, were found dead in the home near Swanton according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.
Police had been called to the home about 7 a.m., after Clarence Saunders' wife, Patricia, told medical personnel responding to a 911 call that her husband had stabbed her.
Deputy Rick Brock, who went into the home after the woman told him her husband was inside with two children, was shot twice in the shoulder, the sheriff's office said.
A negotiator made several calls into the home, beginning about 9:35 a.m. Twelve minutes later, officers from Lucas County went into the home and found the man and his children dead, authorities said.
The bodies were taken to Lucas County for autopsies.
Brock and Patricia Saunders were flown by medical helicopter to St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, police said.
Their conditions were unavailable.
