Hostage siege ends as gunman surrenders after 15 hours
Eight hostages held by Detroit man Jesse Coulter at a home for unwed mothers were too upset to recount the experience. Coulter, who demanded custody of his son, was described as docile in a "sort of a stupor" after surrendering. Barred from speaking, the captives gave police statements and faced dramatic scenes as relatives arrived. One hostage endured a gunpoint hold with a shotgun in her mouth for 10 minutes, another was briefly bound, and alcohol was splashed on a hostage triggering a fire truck response.
