A man was found dead inside a building in Humboldt Park after a more than 12-hour standoff with a police SWAT team Friday.
The man had been seen waving what appeared to be guns as he climbed up and down a makeshift tower atop a building in the 4100 block of West Chicago Avenue. He also yelled racist threats and obscenities at police.
After officers arrived, the man entered the building “and refused to exit the premises,” Chicago police said in a statement issued shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday.
