PINE BLUFF, Ark. (TheBlaze/AP) — A 107-year-old man is dead after SWAT officers shot back at him during a standoff at a home in the southeast Arkansas city of Pine Bluff, police say.

But friends and fellow church members say that Monroe Isadore was legally blind and nearly deaf and shouldn’t have died that way.

“I’m in shock today,” Larry Smith, who attended church with Isadore at New Direction Baptist, told KLRT-TV.

“He couldn’t hear,” Smith said. “Somebody should’ve told the [police] he couldn’t hear.”

Friends told KLRT that Isadore was also legally blind and believe Isadore must have been confused.

“For that to happen and like that… had to be,” Smith said.

Isadore was a God-fearing man who grew vegetables and gave them away at church, according to those who knew him.

“That’s the kind of man that our police department killed,” said Pine Bluff resident Gary Wilson to KLRT.

The Pine Bluff Police Department declined to comment on the case until Monday, KLRT said.

Pine Bluff Lt. David Price tells KATV-TV that police officers called to the home Saturday were told Isadore had pointed a weapon at two people there

Officers had the threatened pair leave the home and approached a bedroom. Police say Isadore shot through the door at officers but missed hitting them.

More officers were called, including a SWAT team that inserted a camera into the room and confirmed Isadore had a handgun.

Police say SWAT officers released gas into the room when negotiations didn’t work. They say Isadore shot at officers who KATV reports entered the room, and the officers fired back, killing Isadore

Legally blind and deaf... 107 years old... Did he know it was the cops and/or were the cops just beig assholes after the first incident/confusion and looking for a reason to kill him.

If he had access to it at 60 unless you go full commie and inspect people yearly and take away shit they don't need then they will keep them. I have had a gun since I was 7, have my pistol since I was 22, and unless they get stolen then I will keep the guns I have until I'm 107 or dead... Dead hopefully like around age 50

:dunno

Don't think I said give the old man a gun, I said if he's had a gun you can't take it away from him without a reason unless we're commies now . :dgb

The reason that he's senile shooting at police and threatening his own caretakers is good enough reason as any. :youfail

Um, they had a reason. It's called being fired at.

How do we know he didn't know they were cops? and yes no fucking reason for a blind and deaf man to have guns. Nothing positive will come out of that.

To be fair, he could have bought it new. It was probably a musket though. :D

[ScotchFrost97]

probably the only reason he wasn't killed or mugged earlier in his life is because he had a gun.
