'Custody battle' gunman kills himself after 16 hour siege with armed police | Mail Online: "The gunman who shot himself following a 16-hour siege in Luton had been denied access to his children by a girlfriend.

The man, whose name is believed to be Steven, was in the middle of a custody battle when he took his own life using a sawn-off shotgun this morning.

Police had been negotiating with the man on a football pitch, at Leagrave Common, in the Bedfordshire town, since 8pm last night.

But just before 12pm today, a shot rang out across the playing fields and he fell to the ground."
