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.

    Not sure that’s much better. I’ve accumulated 15,000 rounds of ammo that I’ve not used but I need more… how about 20,000 rounds??

    Someone accumulating that amount of ammo “just in case” has probably got some other issues.

      Lots of people have lots of bullets. Not saying they aren’t crazy, but if they are then there’s a fuck ton of heavily armed crazy people… Ok yeah actually that checks out.
