A man called police about 10:15 a.m. to report that his son, who had bipolar disorder, was armed and distraught at home. He asked for police to help. Officers arrived and negotiated with Myles Frazier, who was barricaded inside. Frazier allegedly fired at least five gunshots from inside the home. Some of those shots reportedly went outside. Police entered the home after Frazier refused to come out after at least 45 minutes of negotiating, police said. Two officers shot and killed him.
