A Wisconsin man is in the hospital after a six hour long armed standoff with police inside a Michigan City Meijer over the weekend.

Police say the stand off ended with the 27-year-old shooting himself in the chest in the garden center Saturday night.

The man is wanted in Milwaukee County for allegedly sexually assaulting a child.

Michigan City Police found him in a hotel parking lot, and that is when he ran toward the nearby Meijer.

The man is expected to survive, and will be sent back to Wisconsin to face charges.
