I read some discussions about this online, and most people that appeared to have any knowledge said it is a movie fantasy. There's a reason we have highly trained anesthetists - it is tough to gas someone enough to knock them out without killing them, and it's easy to fail to knock them out.

For a real word example, search for the Russian hostage crisis, where they gassed a building and ended up killing a bunch of hostages. I would imagine this guy would have become a lot more upset if he found out the cops were trying to gas him and it didn't work.

Could have used something non-lethal? Some sort of aerosol or noxious gas? Render him unconscious, then remove a limp body? Maybe those substances only exist in movies.

I don't know the whole story, nor does anyone else on this list.

My impression was that the guy wasn't really talking, and he'd already shot a dozen officers (at least 3 or 4 fatally). At that point, I feel that any means necessary to prevent more damage.

Call it the nuclear option if you will.

    Why blow up a perp?
    Why not keep talking?
    Better to have him caged for the rest of his life IMHO.
