Bulldozer Rampage In Granby

Jun 4, 2004 5:36 pm US/Mountain
GRANBY, Colo. (News 4) A man barricaded inside a fortified bulldozer went on a rampage through this mountain town Friday, firing shots and knocking down buildings as he plowed through the streets. It was not immediately known whether anyone had been injured.

Copter 4 video showed that several buildings were heavily damaged in the main section of town, and showed the driver plowing through several trees and signs on the street.

The scene was chaotic as the man rumbled through Granby, about 50 miles west of Denver. Witnesses said the machine took out trees, a light pole, a wall of the library and part of a new bank building. Grand County manager Lurlene Curran said she heard there was heavy damage to six or seven buildings, including the town hall, a newspaper office and a construction business.

County employees moved a large piece of highway equipment in the way to try to stop the man, but he simply turned around and kept plowing into buildings, Curran said.

2. Original

in terms of crazy rampages. Property destruction instead of people destruction. I hope it catches on in the Columbine-kill-em-all crowd.

3. yeah, he's taking Grover Norquist's idea of tearing down the

structure of govt a bit too seriously.

Just an unfortunate random crazy, I'll bet.
