SAL Staff

The following tape recording has been pieced together by the Lightning
from police radio traffic and video tape shot during the July 13th SWAT
action in Lubbock, Texas. (See background story below.)

It has been synchronized from the first shot fired.
It begins with a count-down to a "break and rake" action, with two teams
on opposite sides of the house under siege.
It ends, after 369 rounds, with an officer screaming for "more
ammunition."

The deadly SWAT attack against a Lubbock man in July unleashed an
astounding 369 rounds, one of which killed an officer; and the man under
siege never fired a shot, an FBI ballistics investigation has confirmed.

The F.B.I.'s Lori Bailey told the Lightning Tuesday that the tests had
been concluded, and results had been returned to the Lubbock police. She
would not comment on what those tests showed, but sources tell the
Lightning that it pointed to a case of friendly fire.

Bailey did say the tests confirmed the investigation of local police, and
she lauded LPD's thoroughness in the case.

The Lightning reported last week that sources named "one Lubbock SWAT
member" as the shooter who killed Sgt. Kevin Cox, in a raid on the city
home.

Though not officially released the final report faults a deadly crossfire
set up by SWAT. The officer who killed Cox has not been publicly named.

In the wake of the shooting Lubbock City Manager Bob Cass put Police Chief
Ken Walker on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the
investigation.

Chief Walker has been restricted from wearing a department uniform and
cannot enter the Lubbock Police Department while on leave.

"During this administrative leave, do not interfere in any way in the
pending investigation into this matter," the city warned.

"You will immediately surrender your police badge, police identification,
city issued firearm, and any other indicia of office to me."

Lubbock police were forced to release the man they jailed as the killer of
the SWAT officer, because evidence showed he could not have fired the
fatal shot.

Richard Robinson was released from jail on July 20th. Robinson, 47, had
been charged with capital murder in the July 13 shooting death of Cox
during a standoff between Robinson and the Lubbock Police Department.
Robinson, an unemployed automobile mechanic, barricaded himself inside his
home at 3229 87th St. after setting furniture and household goods on fire
in his front yard.

In the confrontation with police, the details of which have been confused
and contradictory, both the officer and homeowner were wounded. A second
policeman received minor injuries

Official statements early on downplayed the friendly fire possibility.

"That is so baseless and contrary to the evidence that it's an absolute
insult to Kevin Cox's memory," police spokesman Bill Morgan told local
reporters early this week.

"That's an absolute affront to the guys that have to live with the memory
of having Kevin slain in front of them."
Now, however, police have been forced to abandon that tactic, and
disturbing questions have arisen about what really happened, and the
police actions that followed.

Almost a week later Robinson's wife was arrested for "interfering with
police," as she tried to enter the family home. An intense search of the
premises for more than a week failed to find evidence which would
incriminate the suspect.
