GRANBY, Colo. (News 4) A person with a gun has reportedly driven a bulldozer with armor welded to it into several buildings in the town of Granby and heavily damaged the Town Hall, News 4 reports.

The suspect fired shots, and it is unknown what his motive was. Witnesses said police were firing shots at the bulldozer, but were not able to penetrate the armor.

Several buildings were heavily damaged in the main section of town, according to witnesses. Witness Teri Hertel told News 4 by phone that the driver plowed through several trees and signs on the street.

The caterpillar tractor had armor welded to it, according to News 4 photojournalist Rob McClure on scene.

Many police were responding to the situation, including the Jefferson County SWAT team. Emergency crews also called for evacuations, according to witnesses.

If the attack were by a private citizen, I might quickly assess whether the madman can be stopped with anything I have, whether my Browning shotgun would suffice, or anything else which might prove useful in deterring the driver. Seeing that it is heavily armored, I would contact the governor and demand quick action by law enforcement which has access to the tools to stop this behemoth infringement of rights, even if all my property were already destroyed and he's moved on to infringe the rights of my neighbors.

I see no indication of any thought given to stopping the bulldozer, only killing the driver. While it may not be an exhaustive list, I don't see any reason to assume you'd list what you'd do first, then what you'd do forth or fifth, or tenth, and skip everything in between.
