Very few LEOs enjoy shooting people.

MN: "Welfare check" leads to fatal shooting
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, Thursday, relatives of an 83-year-old man called police, concerned that he might be "homicidal."
The man refused to speak with officers. The officers then called the SWAT team. After three hours of negotiations, the man reportedly fired on officers who approached his house.
He then allegedly left the house carrying two handguns and fired at officers. The officers returned fire, fatally shooting him.
Three officers were placed on administrative leave. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is investigating. (Probably this is routine in police-involved shootings.)

Not a good outcome for anyone.
