Man In Standoff With SWAT In Ohio Makes Rant Video Just Hours Before He's Shot And Killed

RICHLAND COUNTY—The Richland County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the Allied Special Operations Response Team (A.S.O.R.T.), Ontario Police Department, Northern Ohio Fugitive Task Force, and Mansfield Police Department, served a Felony arrest warrant and Search Warrant at 3340 Peterson Rd. in Mifflin Twp. at approximately 1:30 P.M. August 4.

The warrants were initiated after an initial confrontation with 38-Year-Old Shawn Rose of Mansfield, on July 4th followed by several attempts over a 31-day time period to have Rose turn himself in, by both law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies.

Additional citizen complaints and threatening behavior by Rose along with several weapons violations led to today’s warrants. Rose barricaded his property and would not allow entry to the units at the scene. After lengthy telephone negotiations, OC pepper gas rounds were launched into the house without success. While still attempting to talk with Rose, the A.S.O.R.T. team was able to enter the structure while Rose was on the front deck.

Shawn Rose re-entered the house upon hearing the A.S.O.R.T. members coming into the residence and threatened the officers inside, armed with weapons. After several attempts to subdue Rose with non-lethal force, he was shot by two officers: Paul Webb, Jr.-Mansfield PD, an 8-year police veteran, and Officer Rod Roose-Ontario PD, a 10-year police veteran. A.S.O.R.T. team emergency medics and on-site medical personnel from Mifflin Twp. Fire Dept., immediately began treating Rose who was taken to Ohio Health-Mansfield where he succumbed to his injuries.

The officers involved have been placed on Administrative Leave, per both Department’s policy. The Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification (B.C.I.&I.) has been called in to process the scene and investigate the shooting. The Richland County Prosecutor’s Office has been engaged with the case from its initiation and is aware of its outcome.

This video was one of several recorded by Rose and uploaded to Youtube just hours before he was killed. In the video, Rose is seen very agitated and unhinged as he speaks about his wife being arrested on we.apons charges
