This incident happened somewhere near Atlanta, I think, at about the same time as the daytrader shootings. The scenario, as I recall from the newspaper story I read:
Police went to a suspect's home. The suspect shot and wounded one police officer. The police then withdrew and summoned the SWAT team. SWAT showed up and stormed the home unsuccessfully, getting two SWAT cops killed in the process. Then, after a standoff, the suspect was killed by a sharpshooter (I think).
Does anyone know any more about what happened? I'm curious about what went wrong. Did the suspect use a rifle that defeated the officers' body armor? Did the SWAT team rush in without good tactical intelligence? Had the suspect been planning for this scenario or was he just "lucky"?
