Del. man charged with murder after standoff

GREENWOOD, Del. - June 27, 2011

Ronald Williamson of Laurel surrendered late Sunday night after lengthy talks with state police crisis negotiators.

On Sunday morning, police say Williamson went to a home in Greenwood to confront a female acquaintance. That woman fled the home, and police say Williamson confronted another woman, 55-year-old Connie Breedling, outside. Williamson allegedly shot Breedling in the head, and then fired several shots at a Greenwood police officer.

Police say Williamson then went inside the home, where he shot a man in the hand and held an elderly woman hostage for several hours.
