PINE BLUFF (KATV) - A stand-off on Saturday left one man dead. S.W.A.T. Officers shot and killed the suspect after a standoff at a Pine Bluff home.
Lt. David Price told channel 7 that when officers arrived at the home they learned that an aggravated assault had occurred against two people. The suspect, Monroe Isadore, who authorities say is 107-year-old old, pointed a weapon at them.
Authorities asked the two victims to leave the home and walked up to the bedroom door where Isadore was supposed to be. When officers identified themselves to the suspect he shot at them through the door but no officer was injured. Police then asked for backup. Police supervisors began negotiating with the suspect as soon as they arrived. Meanwhile, S.W.A.T. was also called out.
Negotiations continued for some time and when S.W.A.T. arrived they were able to insert a camera into the room and confirmed Isadore had a handgun. 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. Officers. Shortly after, a S.W.A.T. entry team entered the room and Isadore continued to shoot. Officers fired back, killing him.
The investigation is still ongoing.
Eh. He was old anyway.
107 and he could still stand and hold a gun?
Amazing!
Added “< /statist liberal bootlick mode>” but it didn’t post for some reason.
“..he shot at them through the door..”
He probably was thinking “...well, I don’t have a shotgun like Mrs. Biden, but this pistol might just do the trick.”
They couldn’t wait for him to fall asleep?
How’s his dog?
A 107 year old was alone in the house, and they couldn’t wait him out?
Eric Holder’s department just keeps on killing!
Late onset senility?
I’d rather go down in a blaze of glory than laying in bed wearing diapers and eating applesauce...
Guess his schtick got old.
Alzhiemers made him forget who the law is and parkinsons made him a lousy shot.
It seems like cops have gone from shooting dogs to shooting the elderly.
I’m divided on this one. On the one hand, it does sound the officers made a more-than-reasonable effort to take him alive. On the other hand, the poster who suggested that they could have waited for him to fall asleep has a point. Gripping hand, if someone was shooting at me, the fact that he was 107 years old really wouldn’t be a factor in determining my response.
What’s wrong with applesauce?
My grandma died finally at 101+ a long past due blessing for her,
At her 100th birthday party family reunion she just slept in her wheelchair.
She did blow out the candles after I said to everyone ‘I bet she wont’. She was listening.
107 is amazing.
Yep, getting old is hell
