Mr. Luddite


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

Some 40 something year old is holed up in a house aboutÂ*
3 miles from me with a rifle and a shotgun. Â*He calledÂ*
911 and apparently wants a shoot-out with police toÂ*
commit suicide.Â*

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

Â*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.
