Hooooo boy. That definitely sounds like this old-timer started first with the shooting. It should go without saying, it's unheard of for the police to start out with high-power rifles right away. Even in a raid.
This definitely sounds like he was all "Get off my lawn ya damn hooligans!" ...except they weren't hooligans, they were cops, and that instead of just chasing them off, he went and got his gun.
It makes me honestly wonder just how far over the cuckoo's nest you gotta be to think that shooting at uniformed law enforcement officers is a good idea.
