loud boom... shots fired. Wonder what the heck is going on in the house.

National coverage?

explosions! Gun shots!

Almost wish they would quit giving this kind of shit so much attention.

It's clear why people do this.

Waiting for the media to reference a Glock or AR-15 pre-maturely

He dead.

The lead cop just described how the SWAT team killed the suspect and freed the firemen.....one of the first questions from the idiot newspeople ---- "can you tell us how the suspect died?". Um, well dumbass, I just told you the SWAT team just went inside the house guns blazing, so he in fact died from the gunfire.

And on queue one of the reporters asks how "big of a stockpile"!

Jfc

I think that's a pretty relevant question, given the situation... you don't?

Goddamn, that's from Detroit's newspaper?! What a horribly written article.

Not really. What. Would indicate that he had a stockpile? I can fire of 22 rounds and I don't have a stockpile.

Of course, to be fair, if there were a shit ton of fire etc then I think it would. From what I heard there was nothing that indicated it though. My$.02 etc

I think that it was their first real, legitimate briefing on the situation from the authorities and they had just heard an explosion and gunfire.

No one knew if he had 1 gun or 20; bombs or anything else. That's why they asked.

I understand the political and fear-mongering implications that a word like "stockpile" can stir up, but he very well may have had a ton of shit in there, so they asked the question.

That's a fair point.

Holy crap, that intern should be fired.
