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.

Hellfire, Maverick, or TOW missile. Hmm, calling in a military strike - this thread could get *very* interesting. How many hours can a big bulldozer run on one tank of fuel?

Per live audio report from scene:
Steel plates around vehicle.
Armour piercing bullets can't penetrate.

When did the Weaver's assault a town with a homemade tank? I must have missed that part.
I'm sure you'll provide us with links.

How exactly do you stop a bulldozer that is welded with armor The tracks are a weak point. The fuel tank also.

The only picture we have is from a helicopter. I'd bet the cops aren't letting anyone in--including news media--only letting people out.

A molotov cocktail would also force the operator out of the vehicle. Armor operating alone is vulnerable to foot soldiers.
