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.

I make jokes about this, but being from a small Colorado mountain town myself, I can imagine the havoc this creates.

What if he had started to plow through people's houses? One man in a fortified piece of equipment could easily demolish all or significant parts of a small town.

Molotov cocktails are federal felonies for us peasants to possess, and felonies again for us to use. Sorry, I wouldn't risk it.

It's just like "Killdozer," the ABC movie from 1974. I think one of the actors was a young Robert Urich too.

Bring in the military and blow him to pieces. Of course there will be all the usual nutball cranks screaming "Ruby Ridge", but to hell with them, and this moron.

The Weavers didn't launch an assault on a local community.

I thought the same thing--blow him up somehow. If he's got his dozer stuck in a department store, maybe they can get close enough to get him out without getting shot.

I know mortgage rates went up a bit, and fines at the library were increased as well - but isn't bulldozing the entire library overkill?

Now, had he merely wiped out the shelves of femi-nazi books we conservatives might have understood.

Evidently, there wasn't even an abortion clinic around when he probably would have appreciated one.

I hope you have both your asbestos suit on as well as a heavy duty flak jacket.
