Myles Belyue shoots self dead after standoff at Columbus Amazon facility with police after firing shots at Georgia warehouse [PHOTOS]

A 22-year-old gunman opened fire on an Amazon facility in Columbus, Georgia early Monday morning before killing himself during a police standoff.

The incident occurred before dawn Monday at the Amazon warehouse on the city's east side, in the 5800 block of Osceola Court, about 4.47 a.m., according to a Columbus Police Department announcement.

The suspect, whose name has not been revealed by officials but has been recognized on social media as Myles Belyue, fired multiple gunshots into the facility from the outside, according to Columbus police.

Preliminary information indicates that a male subject fired multiple shots into the front of the facility from outside. Afterward, he walked a short distance away where responding officers confronted him. The individual brandished a firearm, leading to a brief standoff. The incident ended when the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No other injuries were reported.
