update on my uncle who has barricaded himself in his house and is threatening police and himself [View All]

Thank you all for your care and support. My poor father is just an exhausted mess at the scene right now. We all appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Its about 20hours now since the stand off began. They have broken every window in the house shooting in tear gas and he wont come out. He was running around yelling how he was going to kill anyone who came near the house and that he was not going to be taken alive. For a while he was on the phone but he turned off the phone. Then it got quite and they have been sitting for like 5 hours without anything going on. So now (I think its the State Police) are bringing in this Tank thing to bust down the door in hopes of bringing him in. THe police are doing everything they can not to hurt him.

The last time he did this he fell asleep and slept it off and went quietly once he woke up. I am hoping this is what happens now. But I don't know what will happen to him after he is arrested. He needs to be in a hospital, and he needs to NOT get his guns back. But every time this happens he is back on the street with his guns really fast. Maybe the big difference this time is he is going to be charged with criminal threatening of a police officer. But the fact still remains the man needs care at a hospital and I don't know if he will get it.
