I remember watching this on the tube. A live firefight, you don’t see that very often. Hours of nothing, but in real time you never knew when the next bullets would fly.
At one point the cops staged an assault, “over the top,” many cops stormed out from cover and charged the blockhouse on the roof, and a couple cops fell and the others retreated and dragged back the wounded. Later it turned out they were hit by their own ricochets, the perp was already dead. But nobody knew that yet.
My brother was shot on the roof and still has the bullet in his leg.
