Standoff in Berkeley Passes 24-Hour Mark
A bizarre standoff in Berkeley Monday was still ongoing after 24 hours.
The situation started Sunday around noon, when police responded to reports of a disturbance involving a man with a gun in the 1900 block of 10th St. When officers arrived, the suspect allegedly fired shots, slightly wounding one officer, and then barricaded himself inside an apartment.
Police negotiators were communicating with the suspect, but there was no word on his motive or mental state. In the meantime, buildings in the area were evacuated.

Better yet, play Ronald Reagan's famous speech to the Republican Convention. Nice and loud, interspersed with patriotic hymns from the Marine Marching Band. He'll come out and beg for mercy.

Though I must say that since the barricader only wounded the cop, he at least has about a 10% chance of not dying in a raging inferno.
