A 107-year-old man was killed during a shootout with members of an Arkansas SWAT team Saturday evening.

In a statement to CBS affiliate KTHV-TV in Little Rock, the Pine Bluff Police Department say the incident occurred after officers responded to a disturbance.

Upon arrival, police found an "Aggravated Assault" against two people had occurred. The 107-year-old, Monroe Isadore, pointed his gun at the policemen who responded and at some point barricaded himself inside a bedroom, according to CNN.

Police say that when they approached the bedroom where Isadore was hiding and announced their presence, he shot at them. Backup was called in, as well as a SWAT team, and further negotiations failed to get Isadore to turn himself in, according to police.

A small camera determined Isadore was armed with a handgun inside the bedroom.
