Anatomy Of Siege Ends In Police Shootout
Washington AP report on Norman Mayer, 66, killed after threatening to blow up the Washington Monument. Autopsy cites four police bullets, with Mayer dying from a head wound, plus face and arm injuries. Police say snipers fired to stop Mayer as he moved his van, while officials defend the decision as necessary in a tense, explosives-laden standoff.
