Police said officers were communicating with the man for about an hour before the man walked outside, pointed a shotgun at police who then shot and killed him.

"One of the cops was on the phone with the guy and he actually walked up to the mother and said, 'Well, we had him talking but now he's not talking', and then literally like a minute or two later - I can't quite tell - that's when we heard the gunshot," said neighbor Melissa DeBock.
