crimes of the century: David Koresh by ric gustafson
On Feb 28 1993, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms stormed a compound outside of Waco Texas. They wanted to arrest David Koresh for stockpiling weapons and explosives. When they raided the compound, a gun battle broke out between agents and Koresh and some of his followers. Four agents were killed along with six members of the cult. After this gun battle, a 51 day standoff started.
Koresh's cult named the Branch Davidians barricaded themselves inside the main building of the complex. On April 19 1993, agents stormed the complex. Around noon, fires started in the main building. When the smoke cleared, 76 followers died including children, Koresh and his family.
