Local 4 has learned a 78-year-old man, who was recently evicted, is armed and made threats to other residents.

What a badass.

Hey, it was an 89 year old in Washington a few weeks ago.

Pushing 80 and being evicted- what's he got left to lose?

There is one building that suffered a fire from a disgruntled resident within the past two years...damage was throughout the building; smoke above, water below.

This one is just before the Berry Subdivision...looks onto Belle Isle.

[Gannon]

Just looked it up on GoogleMaps, place I'm thinking of is further down Jefferson from this place...closer to the Manoogian.

[gazhekwe]

It's just across from Riverview Hospital.

EastsideAl had already indentified the building as River Towers, and the picture of it is in one of the links.

[EastsideAl]

Cops apparently shot the guy. He's been taken to Receiving.

From the Ch. 4 story: Police said the man was alone inside his eight-floor apartment.

Wow, I wonder how much 8 floors costs a month!
