Man killed by officers had previous run-in with Pasadena Police *
Leroy Barnes, the man shot and killed after apparently firing on Pasadena police officers had been in a shootout with Pasadena police in the early 1990s, according to authorities.
Barnes apparently had a long criminal history that includes convictions for tresspassing, spousal battery and assaulting an officer. A story is coming and we'll continue to flesh out the details of the shooting throughout the day.
*UPDATE from Nate McIntire:
We don't have the shootout confirmed and the charge against him for assaulting an officer (w/o a weapon) was dismissed. Convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, battery, driving without a license and littering are all confirmed. The web update has all the right info

The police feel that any person that has an arrest record is fair hunting. that's the reason most people are tired of allowing there relatives to be killed..
One more Pasadena thug gets nailed, what's the big deal. Go for a gun and you're going to get splattered, why is that so hard for you idiots to grasp?
