<p>A gunman has died after apparently shooting himself in the head following a 16-hour stand-off with police.</p>
<p>Paramedics spent more than three hours trying to save the man after at least one shot was fired on Leagrave Common, in Luton.</p>
<p>Eyewitnesses said the man was holding a sawn-off shotgun to his chin before the blast rang out shortly before midday on Monday.</p>
<p>Bedfordshire Police said one marksman may have also discharged a shot during the confrontation.</p>
<p>A spokesman said the man was pronounced dead by doctors at the scene some time after 3pm.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;We confirm that the man involved in the shooting incident in the Sundon Park Road area of Luton has been pronounced dead after being treated at the scene.</p>
<p>&#8220;It would appear at this time the man discharged a weapon on himself, a shotgun has been recovered at the scene and it appears that it was in his possession at the time.</p>
<p>&#8220;The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and Bedfordshire Police are co-operating fully.&#8221;</p>
