The matter was complicated as he was with an uninvolved family of four when police arrived. All family members were able to get out and were not hindered by the man police were after. One person had to climb out of an upstairs window when numerous police and SWAT vehicles bore down on the home. Law enforement from areas including Clayton, Dayton, Miami Township, and the Montgomery County Regional SWAT team all arrived and shots were fired apparently from all sides. The man died from suicide under police duress. There are no reports that he had tried harming the family he was with.
