[INDENT]Neighbors of Ricky Nelson Coley on Tuesday recalled his pride of his home and his friendly temperament after a shocking, 15-hour standoff which ended with the death of a West Bloomfield Police Officer and Coley's suicide.

In-between dealing with emotions of grief and the destruction of the situation to her North Woods Forest home, Jeannie Zimbalatti said she finally did find time to sleep Monday night after a "haunting" morning.

Zimbalatti, 52, lived next door to Coley to the east of his home on the 4500 block of Forest Edge, purchased in 2004 for $850,000. She said that she and her husband, Michael Waring, likely knew Coley best in the small neighborhood, bordered heavily by the wetlands and woodlands of the West Bloomfield Trail.

"It's so hard to think now, that we used to stand outside on our decks, right next to each other, and chitchat," Zimbalatti said Tuesday morning. "You can see a bullet hole right near it. It’s hard for us to wrap our heads around this, because we knew Rick in a different way and we don’t have an unkind thing to say about him, his wife, or his son."[/INDENT]

In another news article, it was reported that shooting started when the nigger's mother and brother showed up Sunday night to take his broke ass back home to North Carolina.

The man at the center of a standoff that left a police officer dead in West Bloomfield Township killed himself, the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office said today.

Ricky Nelson Coley, 50, died of a single gunshot to the mouth, according to the medical examiner’s office.

It’s unknown what time Coley took his own life. Toxicology tests are pending.

Coley was found dead in his bedroom Monday afternoon surrounded by a couple of handguns and bullet casings. Coley was recently divorced and facing financial problems and eviction from his Forest Edge Lane home.

He was found by police after a 20-hour standoff that began at about 11:15 p.m. Sunday when Coley shot through his bedroom door, killing 12-year veteran police officer Patrick O'Rourke, a married father of four from Fenton.

"There were a lot of weapons in there," West Bloomfield Police Lt. Tim Diamond said today, adding that Coley kept shooting at police throughout the day Monday, with police returning fire. "At one point they were afraid they were going to run out (of ammunition); that was a concern of theirs. He was not going to give up. There was no question about that."

Officer used a crane to tear into the back of the house to reach Coley's bedroom, which has since been boarded up, Diamond said today.

Sheriff Michael Bouchard said the standoff took hours because Coley’s family told investigators about an arsenal of weapons Coley had in the house.

“The family confirmed to us even before we went in that he had a fully automatic Uzi,” Bouchard said after a 9/11 memorial service in Pontiac today. “I know right around him he had a scoped, high-power rifle and multiple high-powered rifles. He had multiple knives on his bed stand. He had handguns. He was armed, armed and armed. That’s why I wanted to deal cautiously with him.”

Bouchard said investigators decided to use robots – six provided by the Michigan State Police – to get inside the house. But they couldn’t get into the second-floor master bedroom because Coley had barricaded himself inside. And he shot at anything that moved, including the robots.

“It appeared to be just a battle mindset,” Bouchard said. “He had the firepower. He had barricaded windows and covered doors. And the way he was firing – probably because part of his military background – he knew the best way to fire and not be spotted by a sniper. When he was shooting at our people, he was not obviously visible. Sometime he would shoot right through the wall at them. This was clearly planned. He had put up furniture, he had put up beds – he had put up a variety of things. No matter what we did, we couldn’t get eyes on him.”

Finally, Bouchard called for construction equipment to rip out the wall of the master bathroom and bedroom. They then used an armored personnel carrier provided by the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office to pull up to the house. A ramp from the carrier formed a bridge to the house. Then the officers sent in a Michigan State Police robot that was able to get a camera inside the room that showed Coley motionless on the bed at about 5 p.m., MSP Lt. Michael Shaw said today.

“That’s when he was laying on the bed,” Shaw said.

Bouchard said he believes that Coley shot himself with the bullet exiting the back of his head sometime after the second volley of gunfire in the late morning.
