[quote]The police had the victims leave the residence and then proceeded to approach the door of the room where Isadore was supposed to be.
Isadore shot through the door after officers announced themselves, but no one was hit. Officers retreated and called in additional help.
Once supervisors arrived, they began negotiating with Isadore.
S.W.A.T (Special Weapons and Tactics) was also called, and negotiations continued as officials waited for them to arrive.
Once S.W.A.T was on the scene, a camera was sent into the room and confirmed Isadore was armed with a handgun.[/quote]

Well then...
-
He was probably playing GTA before this happened.
-
Dying in a shootout at 107 I can think of worse ways to go.
-
Suicide by cop. Guy was 107. Probably didn't want to wait to go naturally.
-
Lesson: Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you're in the right to shoot at cops. Also, don't play Saint's Row and GTA.
-
There are cases where police have used excessive force on old people that didn't pose a threat. This isn't one of them. The guy shot at the cops.
-
Shoot at the people who are just doing their job, yeah you're probably gonna die.

Edited by JIDF Agent: 9/8/2013 3:51:58 PMWell, if he shot first, he was obviously going to get shot back. And you have to admit, dying at 107 in a shootout is a pretty awesome way to go.

inb4jackbootedpolicethugskilledhim He shot at the cops. He forfeited his right to life when he did that.

Once S.W.A.T was on the scene, a camera was sent into the room and confirmed Isadore was armed with a handgun. After unsuccessful negotiations, S.W.A.T then pumped gas into the room, hoping Isadore would surrender peacefully. At that point, Isadore began firing rounds at the S.W.A.T officers who had inserted the gas from outside a bedroom window. A S.W.A.T entry team breeched the door to the bedroom and threw in a distraction device. Isadore shot at the entry team, and the entry team subsequently engaged Isadore, killing him.[/quote] He brought this upon himself.

Okay? Why are so many details left out? Was he in his home, who were the people he "threatened" ?
-
That's a pretty awesome way to die at 107.

What a way to go.
