LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A gunman locked in a standoff with Los Angeles police for nearly 12 hours was shot and killed Thursday by officers inside a home, police said.

Four others, including a SWAT officer, died during the ordeal, and another SWAT officer was wounded.

Three of the dead men were discovered inside the home with the gunman. Police said they didn't know how they were related.

Los Angeles police Chief William Bratton said Thursday afternoon that there may have been six people in the Los Angeles-area home -- more than the four that police originally reported -- based on a report from an investigator.

Horrible story. One cop and a family is gone because of some psychopath. At least he is dead now.
