GRANBY, Colo. -- A bizarre situation developed in the small mountain town of Granby, Colo. Friday afternoon, where a heavily-armed man knocked down buildings with an armor-plated bulldozer.

The bulldozer was finally stopped around 4:40 p.m. and law enforcement officers were climbing over it, trying to get inside.

According to witnesses, the man first ran the bulldozer through the library and town hall, which are in one building and also smashed through the Sky-Hi newspaper office, demolishing it.

There are unconfirmed reports the bulldozer driver was armed with a large-caliber automatic weapon. The local radio station said the weapon used by the man was the size of a 50-caliber machine gun.

7. Reminds me of this time I see every so often
