Police said 25-year-old Matthew Russ set fire to his ex-girlfriend's home after they fired rubber bullets at him. He had to be incapacitated with a stun gun to be removed from the roof as the house burned. (Source: WRTV/CNN)
A short time later, smoke was seen coming from the house, and Russ emerged on the roof.
The police department's crisis negotiators tried to coax him from his second-story perch.
Even when flames broke through the rooftop, Russ ignored the danger in front and behind him.
