SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — A three-hour standoff that ended in gunfire after the suspect pointed an object at police from a second-floor porch was captured on Facebook Live.

Police responded to a domestic disturbance call Monday when Anthony Logan, 23, appeared on the second-story porch with something in his hand, The Daily Gazette reported.

A witness said the object looked like a gun.

Officers opened fire and hid behind patrol cars during the three-hour standoff. The video, captured on Facebook Live by Robert van Outlar, shows police with a loudspeaker demanding Logan drop the object in his hand.

Logan made a quick movement with his right arm and was shot and wounded by police. He was taken to the hospital where he is in stable condition, News10 reported.

Records obtained by The Daily Gazette show Logan is on parole in connection with possessing a loaded pistol in 2012. After serving two years in prison for those charges, Logan was released until he was arrested again on a parole warrant and resisting arrest in 2015.

An investigation is ongoing.
