How they died
Suicide
Police responded to a domestic disturbance at Kevin Ball's house at around 6 a.m. According to police, Ball fired several shots into the street from an upstairs window. Officers helped seven people leave the house, blocked off adjoining streets and told neighbors to stay inside as a police tank and the Special Response Team took up a position in Ball's driveway. Police reportedly fired significant amounts of tear gas into the house, but Ball remained defiant, and at one point fired two more shots in response to the tear gas. At about 9:15 p.m., police said Ball shot himself.
