[...]
S.W.A.T. was able to insert a camera into the room, where Isadore was, and confirmed he was armed with a handgun. S.W.A.T. inserted gas into the room, after it was evident negotiations were unsuccessful, in hopes Isadore would surrender peacefully. When the gas was inserted into the room, Isadore fired rounds at the S.W.A.T. officers that had inserted the gas from outside a bedroom window.
Shortly afterwards, a S.W.A.T. entry team, inside the residence, breached the door to the bedroom and threw a distraction device into the bedroom. Isadore then began to fire on the entry team and the entry team engaged Isadore, killing him.

Wow!? I wonder if he was pissed at caregivers (there's been a lot of people ripped off by caregivers in PB, had to help a man get Medicare, Meals on Wheels, etc. because he had been cleaned out by his caregiver) and had enough. Or has dementia and in his confusion, this is how it plays out? Again, wow!?
