Nursing home resident dead after confrontation with police

By NBCChicago.com

A 95-year-old resident of an Illinois nursing home died early Saturday, hours after being shocked with a Taser and bean bag rounds in a confrontation with police.

Authorities said John Warna was a resident at Victory Centre of Park Forest, on the 100 block of South Main Street in the south suburb. He was threatening paramedics and staff with a cane and a metal shoehorn when police arrived at the complex, they said.

Police said they struck him with a Taser and bean bag rounds after he threatened officers with a 12-inch butcher knife.

Warna was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he later died.

A cause of death was not released by Saturday evening.

Come on WT we all know how quick and agile 95 year old men are, I am sure they knew the only way to subdue such a threat was with a taser and bean bugs..

Thank god he didn't get to his walker, he may have ran down several officers fleeing the scene.....
