Mesa Police arrest suspect who fired shots at them without firing back

[JonLP24]

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Mesa police say a man who repeatedly shot at officers while refusing to come out of his estranged wife's home for more than eight hours has been arrested by a SWAT team with only minor injuries.

Police spokesman Detective Steve Berry says the SWAT team never fired back at 54-year-old Dwayne Clayton even though he repeated shot at them.

Officers eventually crashed vehicles into the house and used a police dog to arrest Clayton just before dawn Saturday. He had only cuts and a dog bite.

The man's estranged wife called police Friday evening and told them her husband was at her house and had called her saying someone was going to die. Officers were met with gunfire.

This story is only about an hour or so old so I'm still looking for articles with more than 4-5 paragraphs.

1. Probably most of these loons can be talked down

but it takes time and critical thinking. The former is often in short supply and the latter makes a lot of brains hurt, especially when they haven't been properly trained in coping with crazy people. That's why so many of them shoot first, preferably with tasers and bean bag rounds.
