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.
That's probably what he thought. IMHO, this sounds like 'Death by Cop'.
“They couldn’t wait for him to fall asleep?”
Naw, they put him to sleep.
Civility is lost in our culture today. What happened to us?
“It seems like cops have gone from shooting dogs to shooting the elderly.”
There’s no ‘from’ or ‘to’ argument, they still shoot both....
LOL!!!
Rape my lizard!
I'll bet theses guys are proud.
It saves wear and tear on the Death Panel's rubber stamp...
Crazy Eddie!
Likely a negro...poor old guy
What a damned shame
Effing cops
Shooting war starts at least I know who to watch
Damn
When did they all become storm troopers
I’d rather go out after just giving some hot momma a nice ride and other talents and a stream of big toe crunching and back scratching rib biting...pelvic sky bucking orgasms
And check out fast....last thing I feel and smell is her warm embrace...hair ...bosoms and covered in her dew
Yessir
The perfect death
For a loving coward like me....lol
Just gotta say I appreciate the “gripping hand” reference. :)
They could have just put some wine or beer outside the door back off and waited for him to go to sleep. Instead it was a good excuse to use all that military equipment they have and to put another notch on their guns.
It's remarkably useful at times.
I want to go that way. 107 years old and killed in a shoot out after knocking the piss out of two people who handed me some crap.
What a man/.
That's the one from Clarksville TN.
There is no age listed for the one from Pine Bluff.
Getting old doesn’t in itself give justification for placing other people in mortal danger. Sorry but if he had been sixty seven would we have been easier persuaded he was doing something very stupid. Actions have consequences no matter the age!!!
Couldn't they have just waited until he had fallen asleep for his long afternoon nap?
Don’t think he liked the gassing part very much. That’s what set him off.
Was a time when SWAT would do what it could, and spend hours trying to defuse the situation. Seems like it would have been easy enough to keep him contained and wear him out, but the “authorities” will brook no defiance and have developed itchy killer fingers.
Not much fun for Rocky’s GF, though.
