"Been listening to a scanner I recently bought.
All kinds of excitement today.

Some 40 something year old is holed up in a house about
3 miles from me with a rifle and a shotgun. He called
911 and apparently wants a shoot-out with police to
commit suicide.

Currently, the police have called in a SWAT team, set up
a perimeter, stopped all traffic in the area and are
setting up for the long haul trying to talk the guy
out of it. So far, no luck.

From what I can decipher, another drug use situation."


This situation pops up here somewhat regularly.
Usually the perp runs out of steam and gives up eventually.



Pussys up there? I'm guessing this guy will get his wish.



Ha. After several hours of a standoff it turns out the guy wasn't
even in the house. He was out riding his bicycle. Cops found him
and deposited him at the hospital for mental evaluation.
