During the initial rooftop entry the first cops through the window started firing immediately. The cops still on the roof were hit by some of those bullets. The military calls that “friendly fire”. Except in this case it wasn’t very friendly at all.
This was covered quite exhaustively during the investigations that followed.
But all Mr. and Mrs. America saw was bullets flying and Feds going down. Larry Potts, the lying SAIC on the scene, blamed the Davidians immediately even though he had absolutely no facts to back that assertion up.
