Police officers and a police negotiation team gathered outside of the home of David Elcock upon arriving on the scene and spent at least four hours trying to coerce Elcock into surrendering. At approximately 7:00 p.m., Elcock fled from his home and refused warnings from police to drop his weapon. At some point he fired a single shot at group of about 12 police officers, who returned fire killing Elcock.
