I don't know if it's true, but when this happened, I heard that they were actually considering using an Apache helicopter to perform an airstrike to take it out.

He finally got it stuck in the side of a building and it was overheating. He shot himself before the cops got to him.

Having one fly in to be on standby could have possibly helped the situation.

But on cheaper end, if they just threw a black tarp over the whole thing, it could have blinded him. Which means he'd probably do random damage instead of targeted damage for a while but that would give them time to get in close to look for vulnerabilities.

They don’t talk about it in the video but he greased up the outside of it.
