I remember reading an article about a SWAT team that got in a gunfight a while back.  I need the info for a class and despite my best efforts I can't find it.  I am now beginning to wonder if I need a psych eval...

Anyhoo, I was hoping someone here might be able to help.  From what I recall the incident occurred in a rural area (maybe Arkansas?) and upon approach the team was unaware the primary was barricaded in a secondary structure that was also fortified.  They started taking a fire and 2 officers were wounded.  There was no armored vehicle available and the subguns they were armed with were not able to penetrate the structure.  The 2 wounded officers were unable to be reached and at least 1 bled out after several hours.  

Does this sound familiar or is my wife right and I really do need my head checked?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the one your are talking about occurred in Alexandria, Louisiana on February 20th, 2003.  2 officers were killed but I cant find a story about it anywhere.  Maybe someone else can...

I have swat training on Monday so I will ask the guys. I do remember them talking about this a little while back. I seem to remember someone open firing from a closet shooting through the closet or something like that. I also think they were expecting the entry from the team. But during training on Monday I will ask the guys and holler back here on the forum. We train twice a month, one firearms day and one tactics day and when we hear things like this we cator our training to prepare for whatever situation that team faced.

The one you are talking about shooting through the closet was in Oakland I believe.  Very recent.
