Just a quick update

Well the stand off lasted until about 9 or 9:30 last night. The man shot himself in the chest and then died at the hospital. I think it is so sad. I feel bad for his family. Especially his 10 year old son. I have thought a lot about the whole situation and thought how does it get to that point. It started out as a domestic despute with his wife then I heard it was a hostage situation. He ended up sitting in his truck the whole day with at least 2 guns. The police tried everything to get him out of his truck. They broke the windows with the robot and threw tear gas in there, they threw the loud grenades, nothing would get this man to budge. Anyway it is a sad ending. Just wanted everyone to know.

I wasn't really laughing because I thought it was funny. It was just a whole weird situation that was going on and it was just unbelievable that it was going on right out side and that we were here the whole day with cops and news people walking around everywhere. :) And you wouldn't have cried. It wasn't that scary for us.
