He was dead within 12 seconds of their arrival, shot twice in the chest by Constable Brian Taylor after advancing toward the officer. Several neighbours reported him to police. MacIsaac died in hospital the next day. It's an all too familiar story for families who've had loved ones die in encounters with police.
