An investigation is underway in Milton, Florida where authorities say a man shot himself during a standoff.
Santa Rosa County investigators say a lead involving a rash of home robberies led them to a house along Trail Ride South this afternoon.
When deputies entered the house, they heard a gunshot come from the back of the property.
Authorities say that's when 21 year old David Ryan staged an almost four hour standoff against the Swat Team and Sheriff's deputies.
Several tactics were used, including tear gas, before Swat Team members made their way in.
"He was bleeding from the head, it appears he has a self inflicted gun shot wound to the head. However, he was alive and he was conscious and able to speak a little bit to Swat Team members,"Said Sgt. Scott Haines with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office.
David Ryan was Life Flighted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola were he is listed in critical condition.
