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.

Jean Michel, have you watched the video? Doesn't it look like the urban warfare exercise in real time?

I don't believe this story for a minute. So, we are told that good and considerate policemen were trying to resolve the confrontation peacefully with a 'violent' men who happened to be 107 (!) years old. They gassed this man! And apparently, after that he was still shooting and was still dangerous to the members of the SWAT (!) team. Really? Was this man using a gas mask too? Or he was a regular batman?
Here is another version of the story:
"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." _[Link]
The question is: what was this "distraction device" ?

I have no love for the majority of thugs that run rampant, disguised as peace officers. But this story seems pretty cut and dry.
The suspect repeatedly fired on the officers and they returned fire. It doesn't seem that they went in guns blazing.
