STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut police said Wednesday that they found a decomposed body and numerous explosives inside a home in the aftermath of an hours-long standoff with a man who had barricaded himself and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement officers.

Stamford police responded to the house Tuesday morning after a state marshal called 911 while trying to evict the man under a court order, authorities said. The man opened fire at officers several times during the day, damaging police vehicles. No officers were hurt. Authorities fired back multiple times.
