75-year-old John Valluzzo, veteran and president of a Connecticut military museum was shot and killed by police when they came to his house in response to a domestic disturbance call. The police are suggesting that he pulled a gun on them and they had no choice but to shoot him, but there is no evidence of that it happened that way
According to Yahoo News:

Valluzzo was armed when Ridgefield police arrived at his home following a call about a possible domestic incident on Friday evening, state police said. He was shot after authorities said he refused to comply with orders to put the gun down and instead raised it on officers. Valluzzo was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police have not identified the officer involved in the shooting.
The Hearst Connecticut Media Group reports Valluzzo was a decorated Korean War veteran and founded the Military Museum of Southern New England in 1995. State police said Sunday they’re investigating the circumstances at the request of the Danbury state’s attorney and Ridgefield police. An autopsy is planned for Valluzzo.

Connecticut’s News Times reports that Valluzzo’s girlfriend called a friend in Florida about 5:15 p.m. Friday and said Valluzzo was intoxicated and waving a gun around. The friend called police, who raced to the home to find Valluzzo still armed.
“It caught everybody by extreme surprise. It just doesn’t make any sense,” said Johnson, a Bridgeport resident.
“He was hands on,” Jim Monette, the museum’s chief mechanic, said of Valluzzo, the man he called “J.V.”
“I remember how excited he was before we opened. We were down on hands and knees scraping the floor getting ready to paint,” Monette said.
“The museum was his passion,” said Paul Mangiafico of Newtown, a member of the museum’s Board of Directors.
“How many multi-millionaires do you know who would open a museum like this to the public?” Johnson said. “He’d make anything exceptional. He would always exceed your expectations.
“He’s extremely industrious and always on the go with a new exhibit idea or a new project,” Johnson said. “I’m certain he was the most extraordinary person I ever knew.”
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton called Valluzzo’s death “absolutely tragic,” but said he, like most others, remain in the dark about the details of the incident.
“I can tell you he had a vision for his museum,” Boughton said. “He worked really hard for it and for that part, it’s certainly a loss.”
The museum called Valluzzo’s death at the start of the Memorial Day weekend a “senseless tragedy.”
The Museum released the following statement:
Sorrow fills our hearts at this sad moment. A sorrow that is deep and personal for all of us. The news of the untimely death of John Valluzzo comes as a great shock to all who knew him. His departure was sudden, unexpected and particularly distressing. The Executive Directors of the Military Museum of Southern New England believe it is befitting on this Memorial Day weekend to honor his memory by remaining open to the public during this difficult time. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Valluzzo family. Until we have all had a chance to comprehend fully the impact of this senseless tragedy, we will have no further comment to make on the behalf of the museum.
