Chattanooga: Barricaded man dies of injuries

A man who barricaded himself in his house Tuesday and shot himself in the head after a four-hour standoff with police died Wednesday, authorities said.

William Key, 29, of 1116 Wheeler Ave., was listed in critical condition at Erlanger hospital Tuesday, Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Jerri Weary said in a news release.

Police had come to his house on warrants of filing a false report and leaving the scene of an accident, authorities said.
