Police said officers spent more than three hours negotiating with 54-year-old James Allen Cave, after someone called Monday evening, September 22, 2014, reporting Cave was armed and threatening to hurt himself at a home in the 2800 block of Fair Avenue.

Police said negotiations ended when Cave, who reportedly had a gun in his waistband and another in his hand, advanced toward officers.  Police fired shots at Cave, and he was killed.
