Nicholas Cantelmi barricaded himself in a cabin after fleeing a traffic stop that morning in which he allegedly intentionally struck a police vehicle. He was wanted on a parole violation in another county. Police said that negotiators tried to get him to surrender, and they also used tear gas and flash-bang devices to try to get him to come out. Cantelmi reportedly fired shots from inside the cabin before police shot and killed him.
