CBS News New York has learned 63-year-old Jed Parkington, who died by suicide during the standoff, was fascinated with Nazi Germany and was dressed in camouflage and wearing Nazi lapel pins when state marshals came to his door on Oaklawn Avenue in an attempt to evict him.
Standoff and shootout in Stamford, Connecticut
Police said Parkington opened fire on police who were backing up marshals serving eviction papers.
Parkington fired dozens of AK-47 rounds at officers, police said. Some of the gunfire was captured on video that shows the spray of bulletproof glass as shots hit the 3-inch-thick windshield of an armored vehicle.
Pipe bombs and the decomposed body of a handcuffed male were also found, the latter likely involving foul play, CBS News New York has learned.
