The family of a man shot and killed by Fall River police on Tuesday morning decried the police response that led to his death and called for the department to provide a more detailed account of what led up to officers shooting at the man.

Police responded around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday to a report that a man was threatening to harm himself at his home on Langley Street, law enforcement officials said.

The scene outside Gabriel House, the assisted living facility that saw a deadly fire over the weekend, was solemn Wednesday, as mourners placed flowers and lit candles, some praying, others standing silently, some imagining the scene over the weekend that left nine residents dead.

River firefighters arrived at the scene Sunday to find some of the trapped residents screaming for help out of the windows.

When the deadly fire broke out Sunday night at Gabriel House in Fall River, Massachusetts, the assisted living facility had 70 residents and just two staff members working, according to the mayor and an employee.
