<p>A suspected gunman apparently shot himself after a 16-hour stand-off with police, according to an eyewitness.</p>
<p>A single gunshot was heard at about midday at the centre of a police operation on Leagrave Common, in Luton, Bedfordshire.</p>
<p>One eyewitness said a man, who appeared to have been holding a sawn-off shotgun to his head, could be seen lying on the floor.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;There was a gunshot. The man is now lying on the ground. He is surrounded by armed police and paramedics.&#8221;</p>
<p>The stand-off was sparked at about 8.30pm last night when the man was challenged by armed police who suspected he was carrying a gun.</p>
<p>Armed officers surrounded the man and trained negotiators were brought in as police shut down the large open space.</p>
<p>Earlier, the eyewitness said the man was sitting cross-legged on a football pitch close to a set of goalposts.</p>
<p>He said the man was holding an object that looked like a sawn-off shotgun to his chin with the butt of the gun in his lap.</p>
<p>The dead man was described as aged in his late-30s or early-40s, wearing dark clothing. He was sitting next to a brown paper McDonald&#8217;s bag.</p>
<p>A police cordon remains in place around the park between Sundon Park Road and Henge Way.</p>
