A Minnesota man livestreamed his final moments as he locked himself in his house during a stand off with the FBI while clutching a shotgun.
Chue Feng Yang, 33, was shot dead by agents on Thursday morning after they went to arrest him in connection with a car theft and other outstanding warrants.
He barricaded himself in his home for several hours and livestreamed negotiations with officers as they tried to convince him to surrender.
A video shows Yang calmly sitting down on a couch with a shotgun resting on his shoulder while the FBI were outside the property.
He used Facebook to livestream the negotiations before he went outside the house with a woman, believed to be his girlfriend, tied to him and was killed by agents.

Yang’s criminal history included convictions for terroristic threats, burglary, illegal firearm possession and auto theft
She was not struck but was taken to hospital for an apparent fentanyl overdose and was in stable condition.
Footage shows Yang, who also went by Kevin, speaking on the phone with what appears to be a negotiator.
The agent tells him: ‘I know you know you’re in control of this, and you can end this at any time, but it doesn’t mean that you need to end your life or anyone else’s lives today.’
As the negotiator urges surrender, Yang responds, ‘I hope y’all brought body bags.’
He threatened to shoot any officers who tried to come into the property and said: ‘I will be [accountable] but that’s between me and God. From my understanding Jesus already paid for our sins already.
‘So God will forgive me if I have to sin one more time.’
Yang then threatened to kill himself if any officers broke in.
He is heard saying: ‘Baby I am going to do it,’ and the woman screams: ‘Don’t do this baby please! We have a f****** baby coming.’
‘Your brothers want you alive.’
Yang then replies: ‘I am not going to be alive. You want me to suffer in prison?’ She then says: ‘We will do this together. I will be here for you like I have the whole f****** time. Don’t do this I love you.’
He says: ‘This is my last time telling you. You have been lying to me all this time anyway.
‘If you love me you’d come to the other side with me.’
A window is then smashed by the agents and Yang is heard saying: ‘I don’t give a f**** bye bye.’
Yang and the woman, tied together with a piece of cloth, are then seen approaching the door.
He is heard saying: ‘I love you,’ before she drops what appears to be a handgun to the ground.
The door then opens and officers can be heard shouting ‘show your hands!’

Multiple shots are then fired when the pair step outside and Yang was fatally wounded.
Officers surrounded someone on the ground and appeared to perform life-saving measures while others walked a crying woman away.
An FBI statement said: ‘After barricading himself for several hours, the subject was armed as he emerged from the home.
‘The subject was fatally wounded, and another individual required medical assistance.’
The livestream posted on Thursday has been watched by more than 160,000 people.
A search warrant was issued for Yang’s home where he barricaded himself.
Agents could see he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun, according to an affidavit, and Yang threatened to shoot anyone who came in.
A report stated he told FBI agents he had a bomb and they determined he posed a threat to the woman because a shotgun was aimed at her head and ‘lethal force was necessary to protect and preserve [her] life’.
Yang’s criminal history included convictions for terroristic threats, burglary, illegal firearm possession and auto theft.
He also had three outstanding felony warrants for his arrest.
Court records indicate that in one case, he and another person were accused of shooting a dog multiple times with a BB gun inside a stolen SUV before abandoning the wounded animal.
