I would imagine that there are more and more people everyday, having difficulty coping in these troubled and difficult times. It seems like a large number of officers were on scene, but then I am not qualified to make that determination. It is bad that this persons life came to an end.

If you’re concerned for your safety, go inside your house. If you need to evacuate, they’ll let you know.

It SHOULD have been a scary time.
It was a dangerous time.
Suicidal people aren’t thinking straight.
Things were subject to change in a moment.

SWAT means Special Weapons And Tactics. They aren't just for killing peple but rather for avoiding killing if possible by being ready if needed. I was reading the other day where a couple of officers were faced by a person waving a 45 at them. In a matter of seconds, they sent 16 shots his way. Ten of those shots went into or through him. NINE other people were injured as well, all from their shots, none from his. They had to react quickly since they weren't wearing body armor, face shields, et cetera. Had a SWAT type been facing him, it might have gone better. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWAT "SWAT team members' duties include: performing hostage rescues and counter-terrorism operations; serving high risk arrest and search warrants; subduing barricaded suspects; and engaging heavily-armed criminals. " Sometimes suicidal people kill a number of other people ere killing themselves. I know this from personal experience. David for prepared people glad no one else was hurt there REGARDING:

The negotiators try to talk the person down or offer some hope to them. Some times all the person needs is someone to talk with and the call out can end peacefully. If the negotiators can not talk the person down then some times the SWAT team will try to use "flash bangs" or other forms of distraction and make entry and try to disarm the person. It is a team effort with bothSWAT and negotiators trying to resolve the problem. Some times no matter what is tried or done the end result is what happened here. In many cases if the person calls to say they are going to kill them self. they are reaching out for help. If they want to end their life they do it and some one finds the body later. Very sorry for the family in this. @Avis- The SWAT teams and the crisis negotiators work together on most calls of this nature. The negotiators try to talk the person down or offer some hope to them.

No, it's not. Like the photo description says, this is at 10 Mile and Chemstrand. The house was on a different street -- Barksdale. >>William, Does anyone know if the house in the photo the same place the incident took place?

No, it’s not. Like the photo description says, this is at 10 Mile and Chemstrand. The house was on a different street — Barksdale.
