Around 10 p.m., police responded to several 911 calls regarding noise of sawing and hammering inside a condo. Police said Carnes refused to come out and told officers he had numerous rounds of ammunition, could blow up the neighbor's wall and had barricaded the door. Carnes allegedly pointed a gun out of a second-story window with a pistol, and an officer shot and killed him.
