We had a police standoff in our neighborhood on Wednesday Jan 31st. It went from about 11 until 4. What craziness! a guy was being evicted from his house and he did not want to go. The word is that he suffered from severe depression after a divorce. It all ended when he killed himself. It is so sad that he felt that was his only option. We are thankful noone else got hurt.
If you look closely, you can see the sniper on the roof of the shed. He laid there from 11:30 till after 4, even in the rain. He never moved. We had police shut down our street and I had a policeman blocking my driveway. I was scared about this because all 3 of the schools called for me to pick up the kids. During this time, I also heard what I thought were gunshots, later I found out it was actually the flash bombs I heard. I finally asked the officer if he would move so I could leave and he was more than willing to let me leave. I was able to pick up all of the kids. I felt better having my babies with me.
After it was all over with, then chaos borke out in the neighborhood. Everyone was curious about what was going on. We also took delight in watching the Sheriff's office trying to pull their tank out of the mud.
They had to get 2 SUVs and ended up uusing the wenches to get it out.
See all the mud? It rained most of the day while this was going on. We all thought they were crazy for busting through the fence anyway.
