An airman stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., and his wife were found dead of gunshot wounds Friday morning after a two-and-a-half hour standoff with police.

Around 5:30 a.m. Friday, North Las Vegas police responded to reports a man was holding a gun to a woman’s head.

Airman 1st Class Jason Klinkenberg responded to a knock at the door of his apartment by firing shots out the window toward the police officers, according to a release from authorities.

A SWAT team that stormed the apartment two-and-a-half hours later found Jason Klinkenberg and Crystal L. Klinkenberg dead of gunshot wounds, police said.

Klinkenberg, originally from Utah, was assigned to the 99th Logistical Readiness Squadron based at Nellis.
