(Midland, Pa) A man is dead after a manhunt took place in midland last night. Beaver County 9-1-1 reported that at 8:12 p.m. Midland Police were summoned to the west end of town in the area of Route 68 and Route 168 to investigate an incident. Sections of the road were closed to traffic as numerous agencies including the swat team, a helicopter, and the Brighton Township police drone were searching for a suspect who allegedly had an AR-15 style rifle. It is currently unclear how many times the gun was fired during the incident. Hours later around midnight, the suspect was located along train tracks approximately five feet into brush. The suspect was believed to have died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. We are currently working on gathering more details.
