Irked Husband Battles Police in Oak Cliff Siege
A Dallas carpenter threatened to shoot any officer trying to remove him from his barricaded Oak Cliff home. After refusing to surrender, police prepared to fire tear gas as he fired six rifle slugs at a neighbor's house. He hid inside, with about 50 officers cordoning off a 10 block area while his wife fled to a neighbor. He claimed he would come out shooting. He had been drinking and was under a peace bond.
