A 107-year-old man was shot and killed in a shootout with police in southeast Arkansas on Saturday.
Pine Bluff police say Monroe Isadore was shot dead after repeatedly firing at officers through a home's closed bedroom door and refusing negotiations to surrender.
Pine Bluff Lt. David Price told KATV that officers were called to the scene around 4:25 p.m. after a caller reported Isadore was pointing a weapon at two people.
Officers reported hearing gunfire when they arrived at the home, prompting the safe evacuation of the other residents.
More officers were called, including a Special Weapons and Tactics unit that inserted a camera into the bedroom and confirmed Isadore had a handgun.
When the centenarian continued to refuse to relinquish his weapon, gas was pumped into the room through a window, prompting Isadore to return gunfire once more, police said

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
