Law enforcement officers shot and killed a man during a standoff Friday afternoon at a home in Wasilla, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Troopers say 63-year-old Jimmie Janeway pointed a gun at officers who were attempting to arrest him on probable cause of second-degree sexual assault and second-degree sexual abuse of a minor.
“When investigators knocked on the door, Janeway answered the door with a gun to his head and stated he would not go to jail,” troopers said. “He refused to drop the gun and investigators attempted negotiations without success.”
