Thorpe's wife told authorities that she had been physically assaulted by her husband and that he was armed with an assault rifle, according to the report. She said Thorpe "cocked" the rifle and said he would shoot officers if they came to the house.
When the officers met Thorpe at the front door, he was "extremely agitated" and said "Let's go to war," the report stated. The officers tried to calm him down, but he went back inside.
Sounds like a lot of lives at risk here.

PTSD is a hell of a thing. I’m sure he wasn’t well prior to this. Suicide by cop? I don’t think so. Remember we don’t all find platforms such as RP to vent and talk in with people that understand our language.
