On Saturday evening a 107-year-old man was killed in a shootout with a police SWAT team, after he waved a gun at two people in the US state of Arkansas.
Earlier on Saturday afternoon the police were called to a home in the city of Pine Bluff (population about 48.000) following reports that Monroe Isadore, was waving a gun at 2 (unidentified) people.
The pair (who were not being held hostage) left the immediate scene of the incident safely before police tried to arrest Mr Isadore, who was locked inside a bedroom. The police then attempted to speak with Mr Isadore who fired a number of shots through the door, according to the police report.
No officers were struck by the unaimed shots, & police called for backup, including a SWAT (Special Weapons & Tactics) team.
As part of their attempts to persuade Mr Isadore to come-out they then released gas into the room & forced open the door. Mr Isadore began shooting & officers returned fire, killing him.
No-one was injured in the incident except a possibly confused 107-year old man.
Anything I could add would be spurious in the extreme.
