I never understood the mentality of barricading ones self in a home during a gun fight. There is just no way this guy can win.

If he is by himself, all the cops have to do is wait him out.

Can’t they send in one of those robots, and have it release some kind of tranquilizing spray of gas?

They did use a robot against a cop shooter in Dallas. It didn't have tranqulizing spray. But the pipe bomb worked just fine to end the solution. The cleanup was a bit messy.

It’s a magazine, not a clip.

Sorry...

Bring on the social workers. They will fix it.

Yeah, get Annie with her bachelor's degree to go up to the house and ask the shooter to be nice.

Hostage should have used a power tool.

Then it would have been a Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

“Cedar Park Police say subject, not suspect.”
At last, “telling it like it is!”
Why not “Perpetrator?”

Always good to have an axe, in case of hostage situation.

(Prayers :)

Humanity does not currently possess a safe “sleepy gas,” unfortunately.

DPD got extra points for using a Burger King bag to hold the literal pound of C4 they used. “Have it your way!”

Actually, they won’t fix it, but they will pretend to make progress forever.
