"A 107-year-old man was shot dead in Arkansas after exchanging gunfire with a SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team. Local authorities say the centenarian was killed after he refused to surrender."
" Having failed to reach an agreement with the old man, officers fed gas into his room through a bedroom window, assuming Isadore would be left with no choice but to surrender.
The die-hard old-timer began firing rounds at the SWAT officers instead.
The officers broke down the door to the bedroom and threw in a distraction device. Despite this, Isadore shot at the entry team, whereupon officers returned fire, shooting him dead. " http://rt.com/usa/107-suspect-killed-swat-568/
Strewth, if they had waited a bit he may have died of old age in the meantime....or maybe he preferred to go the way he did....
