One is dead and another is in custody following an early-morning shooting in Bloomington.
Police were called to the 8300 block of 15th Avenue about 11:00 p.m. Sunday on a report that someone was barricaded inside a home.
A woman was found dead in a car parked inside a garage, while a 12-year-old girl is in critical condition and a 29-year-old woman is in stable condition.

The all-clear was given in the neighborhood around 3:00 a.m. Monday.
Police had urged residents to lock their doors and take cover for safety during the standoff.
