Yes, let's make educated comments, ASDFGH. And SBSLEUTH99- how far removed from reality do you think you are? Were you two there? Have you read the formal police reports? Have you spoken with the wife of the victim or the neighbors who actually witnessed the police response? My guess would be NO, since the investigation has barely begun, and the family has yet to share their side of the story on this. It seems you've barely even read the article above since, sbsleuth99, you're saying that his wife and neighbors feared him- his wife for one feared for HIS life, not hers. And when were his neighbors fearful? We're barely even able, as outsiders, to get the gist of the story correct (look at the huge factual error about George's gun being loded v. unloaded in this article alone!). So, how can we sit here at our computers and judge one party or another? Stop making up what you want to make up for the sake of having an argument. It's absolutely insane.

Whatphotosb- perhaps it's easy for you to oversimplify situations with which you are unfamiliar and uninformed. I'd hope that others would get the facts and understand that there are people whose lives that have been unimaginably altered. I hope that you never have to feel what the family and friends of this poor victim do at this time. And if you ever do, I hope strangers will afford you more compassion and thought than you have shown with your post.

Please stop. He was not a "crazed old man with a gun". He was a human being who had just undergone extensive brain surgery. No one knows if he pointed his weapon at the officers - the only witnesses to that fact are the officers themselves. The officers did what they believed needed to be done at the time. There was no malintent. The point is - where were the proper procedures to handle a situation like this one? Could there have been any alternative actions taken prior to the officers putting themselves in harms way?
It is easy to blame "the old man" and it is easy to blame "inexperienced officers", but the truth is, the blame is on the system and its failure to help a woman who called 911 to save her husband and instead resulted in his death.
