Don Moore related the following to the C.V.V.A. webmaster:

When our tactical team started the assault on the house, at 5:00am, I had been sleeping in a chair (been there since the beginning) inside the command vehicle. It sounded like a mini war as 100's of tear gas shells and stun grenades were fired through the doors and windows of the house in an effort to get the suspect to flee.

But he had barricaded himself in the basement behind the freezer ready for a fight, but he then shot himself, just before we entered. Never forget that incident. Along with at least 50 other crazy ones !!!!!!!
