Thomas Kyros, 81, slow, shuffling, obsessed, had just shot a woman six times. It was 1:18 p.m. Monday on Outlaw Hill Road just outside Livingston, Mont.
Kyros, who is from New Port Richey, sat in his car as deputies surrounded him. They told him to get out of the vehicle. He refused, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Kyros pointed his gun at the deputies, who fired on the elderly man and killed him, according to the Park County (Mont.) Sheriff's Office.
"He was just a nice, little, old man," said an employee at the Days Inn in Bozeman, Mont., where he had been living since November, the Chronicle reported. "We all just loved Thomas. He treated us like family."
