Patrick Robert Kimmel, 45, was shot to death by police on Friday, March 15 in the community of Penbrooke Meadows after he barricaded himself inside a home.

Before officers were able to enter the home, shots were fired in their direction, prompting police to ask nearby residents to shelter in place.
