Officers went to a motel on South Nevada yesterday afternoon, looking for 31 year old Corky Oliver, who was wanted for robbery.

Oliver barricaded himself inside his room, and said he was holding a woman hostage.

After six hours of failed negotiations, a SWAT team entered, shots were fired, and Oliver was killed.

The female was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
