SWAT team kills Berthoud man

Ben Haskew, 36, of Berthoud was shot and killed early Tuesday morning after opening fire on a Larimer County Sheriff's Office SWAT team, according to a report from the Larimer County coroner.

"SWAT negotiators were talking with the man when he came out of the home and opened fire, according to the news release."

wtf was this guy thinking? You got a half dozen trained personnel out there - if you go out and start shooting it's only going to end one way.
Awful sad way to go.

Suicide by cop? We will have to wait for the report.

Sucks to be that guy!

why do you want to blame the cops again?

when did we start blaming the police for every dipshit that get himself shot?

the cops should get the benefit of the doubt, whenever there is a shooting there will be an internal investigation, the cops should be given the nod until proven otherwise.

point a gun at the police and you will most likely die. this guy knew what was going to happen when he stepped out the door.

Holy Shit! I swear I've seen that truck when driving through Berthoud.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug...

Either suicide by cop, or just high as hell

huh? no one is blaming the cops. theyre just saying the guy probably knew he was going to die, didn't have the stomach to pull the trigger himself so he shoots at the cops knowing they will shoot back and probably kill him. ie, SUICIDE by cop

then why do we need witnesses

I'm curious who called a domestic violence call in, if no one else was even in the house?

Traitorous Yankee!

If someone asked me which of my neighbors was most likely end up in a gun fight with police, I would pick the one who drove this truck.

Sad. A family goes to bed tonight without a father.

If I was about to get fucked by a Domestic Violence charge/conviction, I might do some crazy things too.
