Ok, the fire department turned gas off prior to explosion. The cops shot in tear gas and other chemicals to force him out. You hear a gunshot like 2 seconds before explosion. Sounds like those chemicals was the source odlf the explosion.

What, like a flash-bang? That’s not going to do this. IMO….a bunch of Tannerite stocked up from various sources over months.

There was more than likely a gasline compromised, either accidentally or intentionally, and then a flashbang grenade thrown into it.

[@twocyclediesel1280]

@@NonTypicalRacing I don’t know but they said at the press conference that the gas had been shut off.

[@m.anthonyc.8761]

Im gonna go out on a hunch due to the officials patting one another backs so much and making sure the community understands Their safety came first ...But im thinking The chemicals used to "flush out" the suspect ended up causing the massive explosion. Thats why they aren't or refuse to comment on the causes of the explosion. If that suspect actually caused that explosion then FBI and ATF would be the first ones saying the suspect blew his house up but hes dead now and we need to investigate why this occured. The Fire chief even said "the firefighters shut off the gas to the homes before the explosion" so if there was no gas leak, what else could cause that house to exploded like that besideds a chemical that had been used to " flush out the suspect" that as they said "built up in the house"......seems kinda sus to me.

[@twocyclediesel1280]

Tannerite, and lots of it, purchased from various outlets over months maybe? One shot from a high velocity rifle and 💥 Just my opinion, they did say the gas had been turned off.

[@XXXshheilaXXX]

You don't back your officers?

[@dizzymindy6024]

For whatever reasons, and often times law enforcement has info that the general public does not have, law enforcement felt this particular citizen to be a threat to society (his neighbors), and felt it necessary to retrieve his weapons. Keep in mind, going into a home knowing that the suspect has weapons is extremely dangerous, the suspect has the home court advantage. Many, many officers have lost their lives this way. I know of many cases involving stockpiled, illegal weapons (grenades, automatic rifles, etc. where the immediate neighborhood was at risk), officers are simply trying to protect the neighbors. Do you really think they want to walk into a house and risk their own lives just for the heck of it?? This citizen died by his own hand. His own actions cost him his life.

If I am guessing… He must’ve had gas turned all the way up in the house on purpose, building it up… That’s why he was shooting flares, he was looking for a movie type scene and boy did we get one! I’m so happy the police were fine… Jesus. This guy definitely had built gas up in this house, I don’t think he created a bomb… If he did, I don’t think we would’ve seen this type of explosion as much! I think it was a ton of gas throughout the entire house, and then the flares igniting it. If I’m wrong, this is the first person in history who’s ever shot at the police with a flare gun! Lol.

I had a neighbor who was a prior convict. He shot his ex-girlfriend’s new bf. He grew up in the foster care system and was a lost soul. Legally, he was not to have firearms. Well, this neighbor, who was pretty young, had grenades, AK’s, military guns, when the neighbors had a huge party, he donned all black and in great style, he sharp shot the windows of the party goers cars to break up the party. The guy was trying to be a good person most of the time, but when he blew a fuse, he was scary unpredictable. I lived in a nice neighborhood, and this guy had come into money, so he had no job, just all day to play with his weapons. This is why cops go into dangerous situations to remove weapons. Cops want normal, mentally sound people to have their guns, it’s just the mentally unstable people they worry about.
