Arkansas Swat Officers Kill Man, 107, in Standoff
A 107-year-old man was killed after SWAT officers shot back at him during a standoff at a home, police in the southeastern Arkansas city of Pine Bluff said Sunday.
Police were called to the home Saturday afternoon about a disturbance and say officers arrived to find Monroe Isadore had threatened two people by pointing a weapon at them.
Officers had the pair leave the home for their own safety and approached a bedroom looking for Isadore. When the officers announced who they were, Isadore shot through the door at them but missed hitting them, said Pine Bluff Lt. David Price.
SWAT officers entered the home, made their way to the bedroom and threw a “distraction device” into the room, Price said.
He said Isadore began to fire at the officers and they fired back, killing him.
Price said in a press release that the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
