Greensburg police said Christopher Sphon became suicidal after his girlfriend told him she wanted to break up.

The woman left the house and called 911 after hearing a gunshot. She told police the couple's 2-year-old was inside the home.

A state police team responded and, after several hours of negotiation, officers went inside.

Authorities said they heard another gunshot and found Sphon dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The 2-year-old was not injured.
