Tear Gas Ends Plano Standoff; Armed Man Arrested
|
The tension is now broken in a Plano neighborhood paralyzed by Thursday's all-day armed stand-off. A normally quiet street was puncuated by shots fired, helicopters circling, and tear gas canisters fired into a home where a 19-year-old man was holed up. It began before noon Thursday and didn't end until just before midnight when a final tear gas canister finally flushed the suspect out into the backyard where he was cornered by police dogs and arrested by the SWAT team. Brandon Hoffer was taken in handcuffs to the hospital to get checked out -- and then to jail on aggravated assault charges for the shots he fired.
