Logan Township, N.J. • An armed man who entered a UPS processing facility Monday morning and held two women hostage for several hours was shot and killed by police as he left the building with the women, authorities said.
Several officers fired at William Owens, 39, of Sicklerville, N.J., the state Attorney General’s Office said in a news release that did not detail the situation or explain why the suspect was shot.
Owens had entered the business at about 8:45 a.m. and fired shots, which did not strike anyone, before taking the women to a room and barricading himself inside with them, authorities said.
