Law Enforcement and Policing

Stamford Police say a man evictable under a court order barricaded himself in a home on Oaklawn Avenue Tuesday, exchanged gunfire with officers, and was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. After the hours-long standoff, officers discovered a decomposed body on the second floor and multiple explosives including pipe bombs, grenades, and Molotov cocktails; no officers were injured, the bomb squad cleared devices, and the state inspector general opened a probe into the officers’ use of deadly force.
