Baldwin Borough police shot and killed an armed man while responding to a domestic dispute Tuesday night.

Police say the man threatened to shoot a police officer and that is when an officer fired a single shot, which killed him.

The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute that quickly turned into a standoff.

"One of our officers was across the street from the residence trying to ascertain what the address was when the deceased called out to our officer and said, 'You know, I don't want to shoot you. If I wanted to, I have seven rounds here and I'm a Vietnam vet and I won't shoot for your Kevlar, I'll shoot for your heads,'" Baldwin Police Chief Michael Scott said.

According to police, that's the message they received from Edward Zevola, 61, when they arrived at the home on Songo Street.
