It was horror at the River Glen of St. Charles old age home in Illinois as a man with a revving chainsaw ran around the facility.
Responding police officers shot Daniel H. Escalera as he charged at them with the chainsaw.
Despite immediate first aid, Escalera was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just released bodycam footage of the December incident shows a police officer pointing his Taser at Escalera, yelling at him to put down the chainsaw.
The officer fired the Taser, but it didn't work and the chainsaw-weilding man started running through the facility before being shot.
Reports say Escalera was initially on the property to cut down a tree when he went into the lobby and started harassing residents with the chainsaw.
TMZ reported an autopsy revealed Escalera had traces of amphetamines, methamphetamines, and olanzapine — a medication used to treat schizophrenia — in his blood at the time of his death.
Officers have been clear of any wrongdoing.
