Four people have been found dead following a shooting incident that triggered a stand-off with police in Aurora, in the US state of Colorado.
Police say they went to a home after shots were heard there overnight.
Officers later entered the home. After a gunfight they found the suspect dead, along with three people apparently killed earlier, police say.
Aurora, near Denver, was the scene of a mass shooting at a cinema in July, in which a gunman killed 12 people.
He opened fire at random during the premiere of the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises. Suspect James Eagan Holmes is currently being tried on murder charges.
In Saturday's incident, police said the suspect barricaded himself at the home for five hours before police moved in.
They say it is not clear whether officers shot the gunman or whether he shot himself.
