Since it was in my &#8216;hood, I recorded my experiences via <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RickKlaw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"postlink\">Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.keyetv.com\/media\/news\/c\/a\/6\/ca64552d-ba20-4969-9b61-5897305122c5\/Story.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nBold are from the later news reports or commentary from me. Times are approximations since Twitter doesn&#8217;t record the exact time of a post.  I share my tweets with Facebook but there is sometimes a lag.<\/p>\n<ul>9:41 PM trying to figure out why the cops are diverting traffic from Burnet down 47th (past my house). Access to Rosedale cut off at 47th also. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Austin Police Lt. Ockltree tells KEYE TV a check wellfare call came in shortly before 7:30p.m. Police aren\u2019t releasing any other details but tell us the man inside refused to surrender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>10:04 PM SWAT standoff like one block from my house! <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cjnjhx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cjnjhx<\/a> Streets blocked off and everything.<\/p>\n<p>10:07 PM More on SWAT standoff <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/dn48bv\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/dn48bv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>10:24 PM Cops are keeping everyone off the streets. It&#8217;s very quiet out there&#8230; hopefully, not too quiet. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Sgt. Mason with APD says, &quot;That&#8217;s why were here, that&#8217;s basically why we shut down Burnet Road. To make sure that everyone is safe and if the person has weaponery and we don&#8217;t know at this point, but if there is some kind of danger. That&#8217;s why we shut down Burnet Road and the neighborhood is in lockdown.&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>10:30 PM Hope this resolves before bed. Not exactly easy to sleep with police lights flickering throughout the house. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">I live on 47th between Burnet and Rosedale.  Standoff on 46th between Burnet and Rosedale.  I could see the flashing lights from both Burnet and Rosedale as cops blocked off the streets.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>11:30 PM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> @rickklaw @iemilie @terrymtz @ctreada SWAT team has closed rosedale between 45th and 47th. almost wasn&#8217;t allowed back to my house. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Neighbor aluikart who is on Rosedale reached out to several of us via Twitter.  I&#8217;ve included some of his tweets for a more complete picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>11:30 PM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> good thing sarah was home &#8211; my license doesn&#8217;t have my rosedale address so i couldn&#8217;t prove i lived here. 46th is crazy dark right now.<\/p>\n<p>11:35 PM Still no news and no movement. Just flashing lights.<\/p>\n<p>11:40 PM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> this is no &quot;omg plane just landed in hudson&quot;, but probably the most exciting few twitters i&#8217;ve ever twittered. UPDATE: no gun battles.<\/p>\n<p>12:00 AM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> &quot;YOU NEED TO COME OUT. WE CAN&#8217;T LEAVE UNTIL WE KNOW YOU&#8217;RE SAFE&quot; <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">I assume this is SWAT talking to the man barricaded in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>12:25 AM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> okay, no more fucking around. those were gunshots.<\/p>\n<p>12:25 AM Gunshots fired! <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">We both heard the shots.  This very vague bit comes from the news report.  &quot;At one point while police were talking to a woman in the front yard, neighbors say they heard two gunshots.&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>12:28 AM A few moments of lots of cars moving on 47th then nothing but quiet after the shots.<\/p>\n<p>12:32 AM some of the news trucks parked at Phoenicia <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">[Bakery at 47th &amp;amp; Burnet[<\/span> have driven away. Burnet and Rosedale still closed. <\/p>\n<p>12:35 AM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> lots of banging noises right now. not like the gunshots earlier. maybe they&#8217;re breaking the door down?<\/p>\n<p>12:36 AM banging noises are from the garbage truck at Phoenicia. Watching out my window.<\/p>\n<p>12:40 AM Garbage truck gone now. Any new clanking is from something else.<\/p>\n<p>12:41 AM Another gunshot! Shotgun this time?<\/p>\n<p>12:43 AM And now a cop car went zooming by on 47th toward Burnet!<\/p>\n<p>12:45 AM According to @aluikart who is closer to the scene, it was an explosion<\/p>\n<p>12:46 AM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> that rattled windows here. not that i&#8217;ve ever heard a shotgun before.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Police finally used [tear] gas on the man, and were able to get him out of the house without incident around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>12:47 AM <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">aluikart<\/span> well, i didn&#8217;t see anything. i&#8217;m going to stop posting because i can&#8217;t see anything and don&#8217;t want to spread misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>1:00 AM Ambulance passed my house on 47th and turned left on Ramses! No lights but heading toward scene.<\/p>\n<p>1:22 AM Hearing what may very well be several gunshots <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Have no idea what the noises were and probably never will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1:26 AM Wish they&#8217;d end this standoff. I&#8217;d really like to go to bed now. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Course it was over but had no way of knowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1:40 AM Been very quiet for abt 15 minutes. No noise. No cop movements. Just some barking from the dogs in the neighborhood. They&#8217;re agitated.<\/p>\n<p>1:54 AM Streets still blocked but been quiet for nearly 1\/2 hour. Wonder if they forgot to tell the grunts blocking the streets?<\/p>\n<p>1:58 AM Police van is gone from Burnet but street is still closed. As is Rosedale.<\/p>\n<p>2:15 AM Guess it is over. Rosedale is open though Burnet is still closed. Figure out in morn. Off to bed.<\/ul>\n<p>So there you have it.  A lil bit of excitement in my life as experienced via Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night my neighborhood was in lockdown as the Austin SWAT confronted a &quot;man [who] refused to surrender&quot; after a &quot;wellfare call.&quot; The whole thing ended after a five hour standoff with no one being hurt and the man brought &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/revblogs\/geekcurmudgeon\/2009\/03\/19\/swat-standoff-the-twitter-experience\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
