Cop vs Man with CHAINSAW in Nursing Home!

Daniel H. Escalera, of Stockwell, Indiana, was shot and killed by police at the River Glen of St. Charles assisted living facility on Dec. 1, 2024.

Body camera footage released by shows St. Charles police officers confronting Escalera inside the lobby and cafeteria of the building. The first officer who arrived on the scene pointed a Taser at Escalera as he is trying to start the chainsaw, and repeatedly telling him to drop it. Escalera apparently was trying to find his wife, and could be heard saying, "Where is she?"

After successfully starting up the chainsaw, an officer fired a Taser into his chest, knocking him to the ground in the facility's cafeteria, just feet away from two people sitting at a table.
