It all started off normal.My brother in law and myself on the porch smoking a cigarette.When a police officer pulls up across the street and is greeted by a soldier in uniform and another man who is clearly a soldier but in civies.The female officer got out of her vehicle and began to speak with the men when another squad car pulls up right in front of my house-"Go in the house! Go in your house!" is all he said,so we did
It turned into a three and a half hour standoff with a suicidal soldier.
It just so happens that those other two men were in this mans unit.They must have known he'd been depressed and alerted the Police who I imagine ,were informed there were weapons in the house.
For the whole ordeal we watched safely from the window.Dozens of officers positioned themselves around the area,and blocked off the streets.
A man on a PA kept trying to make contact with him.
"Wesley, come on man,..your not in any trouble.Turn on your cell phone so I can call you."
He continued to repeat and repeat similar things throughout-
"Wesley,Come on bro,..Turn on your cell phone!Or you can call me!My number is blah blah blah"
"Just come to the window so we can talk"
"Shake the drapes so that I know that you're alright in there"
After the sun went down it looked like there was more and more cops all over the place-On the sides of the houses ,behind tress..Everywhere.
Finally after one last attempt of contact-They stormed his house.When the first sound of a shotgun-ish blast went off both me and my brother in law agreed "Those ain't shots" Sure enough you could see the sparks coming from the barrel in the distance with another two shots ..They hit him with the CS-Used the ram to knock the door down ,and brought him out unharmed.
It was little scary at times just to see people on your block in swat helmets and assault rifles,,.But I'm glad it turned out ok and I hope this dude gets the help he needs
