Bizzare Event... (ME)

As I was sitting on my deck admiring the lake last Friday, I heard sirens on cars running accross the highway. I looked though my scope and saw 4 county cop cars in tight formation running about 100 miles per hour. Only problem was, they were headed in the wrong direction. They were headed OUT of the county. Shortly there after, my wife comes in and tells me to come watch the news on TV, that some guy had gone crazy in Granby and was running around town in an armoured tank destroying buildings. Check this out. If you have high speed cable, click on the News 4 link to actual footage of the events.

    Wow Mark,

    Followed the event

    as it progressed and, like HR, wondered if it was close to you. At least he did not take any innocent folks with him.

    Have they determined how he met his demise?

    Self inflicted..

    gun shot wound is all they'd say. Not sure how you can tell the difference. The cops fired over 300 rounds at his rig trying to stop him. As you can tell by the pictures, he had all the "soft" spots covered. Somehow, one of the shots found its way to the radiator, which combined with the fact that his right track fell into a basement he eveidently didn't know was there, finally stopped him in his tracks.

    Witnesses said he gave anyone in the buildings plenty of warning and time to leave before he did his thing. THey tried stopping him with a D10 cat. He tossed it like a Tonka toy...

    WAH HOO!!!
