\n\tA Grammy-winning recording<\/span> engineer accused of holding his wife and stepdaughter captive at gunpoint was killed after a SWAT team member shot him in Nashville Thursday afternoon, variety<\/em> reports. <\/p>\n

\n

\tPolice fired on Mark Capps, 54, who was armed in his doorway and was wanted on aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping warrants at the time of his death, according to local reports.<\/p>\n

\n

\tHe was the son of the late guitarist Jimmy Capps, a member of the Musicians Hall of Fame and a part of the Grand Ole Opry, playing lead guitar in the house band. <\/p>\n

\n

\tCapps brought his 60-year-old wife and 23-year-old daughter into their family room at gunpoint at approximately 3 am, Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron said, per News Channel 5<\/em>. \u201cHe told them if they called someone, he would kill them,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cThey were extremely frightened by him and his actions toward them in not letting them leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhen he fell asleep around dawn, police said, the two women fled the residence and went to the Hermitage precinct where officers took statements and placed warrants against Capps. After the warrants were issued at 1:55 pm, the SWAT team arrived at the Nashville home.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cJust after the arrest warrants were issued, SWAT was preparing in the event he barricaded himself inside,\u201d Aaron stated. \u201cHe came to the door with a gun in hand. At that point, he was fatally shot. We have since learned there were cameras monitoring the outside of the home. He may have well seen them outside the residence. They were in SWAT gear and clearly marked to him as members of the police department.\u201d<\/p>\n
