A domestic dispute between Fort Drum soldier Jason Love and his wife turned into an armed standoff.

With 30 to 40 police officers surrounding his house during the five-hour standoff, Love, wearing full body armor, allegedly fired a rifle three or four times.

Eventually, police talked Love into surrendering.

He was charged with menacing a police officer, first degree reckless endangerment, second degree criminal possession of a weapon and unlawfully wearing a body vest.

Love is a Bronze Star recipient who served four combat tours.

The obvious question is, was post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - a factor? "The situation last night, there was alcohol involvement," said Jefferson County Sheriff John Burns.

"Was there any post-traumatic?" he said. "We're not sure." go here for more and video
