No gunman found after 3-hour standoff in S.L.

There were over 25 official vehicles that I counted as I walked by. Did we really need to have over 20 vehicles and well over 45 officers/swat members there even if the man was in the shed. It is good that they respond well to crisis situations but this was a little bit of an overkill.

That's hilarious! Sad waste of manpower, time, and money, but still it's funny that they were in a standoff with an empty shed!
