If this happened the way the officers SAY it happened, it seems justified.
'Course I am more and more inclined NOT to believe the authorities' side of the story.
I'll sit patiently by to hear, as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story.

One the one hand: When someone is shooting at you, their age is a non-factor.
One the other hand: Seems like they could have waited him out if he wasn’t randomly shooting and endangering people while holed up.
He’s 107, how long can he stay awake?

If he was a veteran, he probably could sleep with one eye open.

The US Citizen fired a shot thru a door to protect his property from armed invaders with badges.
Hardly a shootout.
He was shortly thereafter MURDERED by armed invaders with stinking badges.

There seems to be a new rule of engagement for SWAT teams.
“If SWAT is called out, something or someone must die.”

The suspect, Monroe Isadore, who authorities say is 107-year-old old, pointed a weapon at them.Used to be, anyway.

They released gas into the room, after negotiation proved unsuccessful, in hopes Isadore would surrender peacefully. Once gas was released into the room, the suspect fired at the S.W.A.T. Darn right, I'd plug their asses too if they farted in my room. Especially if they tip over my soaking dentures or upset my diaper bucket.

Yup. Or “we’re SWAT dammit. You call us we shoot the sh*t out of someone”

They could have backed off—they got the people out— and the dude gone to sleep. 107 year old people sleep alot. You send in a bomb squad guy fully protected and nobody gets hurt. You do not kill an old, old man. Real machismo, and real chicken-crap way to do it. It has happened before, with old ladies with pistols firing off way out in the country in FL— only a harm to themselves.
If this was “in-town” then understand the greater threat to neighbors. But really— 107 years old... that is pretty fragile physically and mentally.

So SWAT is now a ‘backup’ call-in? What weapon or tactic was needed to wait out a 107yr old??
Anyone else have a problem with any part of this scenario?

Ah, another skin-headed, 'roided, bloused booted, badge heavy thug.
Hot Flash: Keep slaughtering all these civilians. There will NEVER be a backlash, walking into an ambush, or an IED for a Crown Vic.
Lynchings after murdering one little old lady too many, when you attacked the wrong address are not possible...

Did you miss the part where he continued to fire shots at the Officers? The Police were there because he had already assaulted someone with the gun (agg assault).
And self-defense is not Murder.
SWAT did not just rush in once they got there. They tried to talk the old bastard out. And they tried to gas the old guy out.
You can not just leave some nut job with a gun because he is 107. What if he walks over to the neighbors house. Or has a rifle and starts picking off the kids on the sidewalk? Than all of you will be pissed that the Cops didn't do their jobs.
Just more Police bashing on FR. Place is more like DU everyday.
