Today 12/4/23 or for the rest of the world 4/12/23, a man being swatted (for shooting flares in a public park and firing random shots from a long barrel AR ) has filled his house with Natrual gas and upon the SWAT team forcibly entering his home detonated the natrual gas with either a shot from his AR or flare gun.
"As officers were attempting to execute a search warrant at the residence, the suspect discharged several rounds inside the home,” said ACPD. “Subsequently, an explosion occurred at the residence and officers continue to investigate the circumstances of the explosion." - ACPD
"A duplex where a suspect was involved in an ongoing incident with police exploded in a large fireball as police, including a SWAT armored vehicle, moved in. It followed the suspect repeatedly firing a flare gun over nearby Fields Park." - ARLNOW
As of right now no casualties have been reported besides the man inside of the house.

Aftermath of house :
Explosion (From a Distance):
UPDATED 12/5/23 or 5/12/23 -
Suspect name was James Yoo
Alex Wilson, the neighbor who took the video seen above — and shared worldwide on social media tonight — told ARLnow that the resident of the home was firing a rifle at police as they used the SWAT vehicle to try to get inside.
“When they rammed the front door he started firing an AR back at them,” he said. Wilson said he saw at least one officer injured following the explosion.
“He was able to walk but he was like holding his head,” said Wilson.
A man named James Yoo, listed in public records as the resident of the address to which police were initially dispatched, has been repeatedly posting paranoid screeds on his Linkedin account. One post from three days ago rants against his neighbors in the adjoining duplex unit.
Wilson — the neighbor who took the video of the explosion from his roof — described Yoo as a recluse and said he had aluminum foil covering the windows.
After the home was listed for sale a couple of years ago, Yoo chased would-be buyers off with a knife, according to Wilson. Real estate records show the home was taken off the market on at the end of 2021.
As a commenter has made me aware @Flatline_Miami he has a YouTube account where he posts paranoid content. As of right now no deaths have been reported. Besides his own. (I think). His account is "James Yoo" if you would like more info on that.
ARLNOW has updated their page with more info on the situation.

As more comments have made me aware these posts also belonged to James Yoo :

Uhhh, if you have a Loony Toons' size bomb in your living room and you're firing at police, you're not being "swatted" - you're just getting the normal response that would warrant such hardware and actions.
"Swatted" implies an unsuspecting innocent victim having false and extreme statements made to 911 to elicit a response from the special police unit (commonly referred as "SWAT [Special Weapons and Tactical]). That ain't what is happenin' here.

You're right.
"Police said earlier they had responded to reports of someone firing a flare gun from a residence on Monday night."

I saw his channel while it was still up but did not watch or download the videos because they seemed boring. You can see on the Wayback Machine that he had 16 videos. All of them were archived by the Wayback Machine and can be watched there (assuming they don't get taken down) except the following:

For those who don't know, civilians can buy a substance known as tannerite. It's basically WAY more volatile than gunpowder, and all it takes to go off, is one bullet. Guy blew his leg off shooting a lawnmower with a small jar of tannerite on top of it from about 50 feet away.
Edit: only in America, of fucking course xD

He must have turned his stove on without igniting it or something, filling the house with gas. I don't know how else there would have been an explosion that big

That's a gas or LPG explosion, he's filled the place up and sealed the windows, then lit it with his flare.
Search other gas explosions and you'll see the similarity

Wow, i didnt realize that the conspiracy went this deep. The spy family must have had spykids to be able to continue the surveillance of Yoo after death or incapacity. Seems unfair that Yoo was eliminated so soon after uncovering this deep spy group.
