The suspect, William Hardison Sr., shot at deputies trying to serve an eviction notice, resulting in a standoff that lasted about 6½ hours.

    Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    …I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.

    couldn’t 5 police officers with some tear gas have fixed this in 30 minutes with a lot less gunfire?

    I’ve got a theory that we’ll never see investigated, and that’s that dude is responsible for probably about the first ten shots and the rest of this “standoff” was police shooting in response to hearing their own gunfire.
