A former Columbia Falls High School student was killed in a shootout with police near Cleveland last week.
Bradley Paul Babbitt, 18, died May 3 when he was shot twice by SWAT members in Lakewood, Ohio.
A three hour standoff between Babbitt and police in the Cleveland suburb caused schools to lock down and neighbors to sequester in their basements, according to news stories by reporter Damian Guevara of the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.
Babbitt fired from the window of his home onto police below, the story said.
Guevara reported that Babbitt's aunt called police to the house because Babbitt was behaving violently and making threats.
Babbitt sprayed bullets at police when they arrived, putting three rounds into a Lakewood police vehicle. He also exchanged shots with one officer before a SWAT team arrived, the newspaper reported.
Babbitt repeatedly broke contact with police negotiators but called a friend, during the incident.
Kennedy told the Cleveland newspaper that Babbitt "kept saying he didn't want to go back to jail.
He was shot in the head and chest.
The day before the shooting, Babbitt was found guilty of attempted petty theft, according to the newspaper. Last year, he was taken to the hospital for psychiatric treatment, police told Guevara.
Babbitt was briefly a student at Columbia Falls High School in 2004, attending for less than a year, according to the principal.
Babbitt and his family also had lived in Germany, Egypt, Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee.
he is survived by his parents, three brothers and two sisters.
Guevara said police are conducting a routine investigation into whether the use of force was justified.
