St Louis standoff ends --updates follow.

[les nessman]

    Allegedly, at 5:45 AM central time a neighbor in the vicinity reports hearing a loud explosion, and that a truck outside was on fire. 
Witnesses also allege that as police and fire departments arrived, three of the the first responders were shot with a
shotgun.  The odd thing is the St Louis media has reported the presence of a "Marine Assault Vehicle".  Media also reports
that the area around the home has been secured for a ten block radius and that black smoke has been coming from that area.
After gathering the little information available, I telephoned Alex Jones' office in Austin as well as a few St Louis talk shows.

     Within two hours of leaving a message at Jones' office in Austin, I discovered I was under physical surveillance by the
chief detective and another individual from my local sheriffs department.  I did videotape the surveillance vehicle, and the vehicle left after they realized they had been spotted.  I shared this information with some locals and am attempting to gather more information
to see if the two incidents are related. 

Firefighter killed, two police officers wounded in Maplewood shootings     
Monday, 21 July 2008 
One of the three first responders shot in Maplewood this morning has died. 22-year-old firefighter Ryan Hummert, the son of former Maplewood Mayor Andy Hummert, was shot as he got off his fire truck while responding to a truck fire on Zephyr off Big Bend at about 5:45 this morning. He had died before a SWAT armored truck was able to move in and get him a couple of hours later. The two police officers shot moments later are expected to recover. One was treated at a hospital and released. The house where the gunman was holed up for hours has burned to the ground with only two walls still standing. The suspect is believed to be in the rubble. A neighbor tells KTRS News he believes the man set a truck on fire and let it roll down his driveway into a neighbor's yard and then shot at the responding firefighters. He says he rarely saw the suspect, calling him "reclusive." Stay tuned to KTRS and check back at ktrs.com for the latest.

   I've been meaning to update this thread.  After gathering videotape of the surveillance vehicle they left without incident.  I later aquired video of the surveillance vehicle parked outside the local sheriffs office.  Recently, the area has been busy with strange incidents, including an incident in which a major interstate highway was closed after an alleged threat was made by a man with firearms, according to his spouse.

A few weeks ago a politician in St Louis was calling for use of the Missouri National Guard to act as a police force to stem the tide of "gun violence" in in North St Louis.  This was brought to the Missouri legislature, at the same time the Illinois situation occured, as reported by Alex Jones.

  At the same time, "computer hardware" which allegedly contained the personal information of MO National Guard personnel from the adjutant generals rolls and god knows what else, mysteriously went missing from a secure MO National Guard office in Columbia, Missouri.

As for the Knobbe situation, a neighbor allegedly saw an individual attempting to kick in Knobbe's front door a few weeks ago,

yet most of the neighbors stated he was a "recluse".  No explanation was given as to why no action was taken to check on Knobbe during said alleged incident, and neighbors report that he loaded his pickup truck full of firewood before placing it in neutral to roll across the street to his neighbors curb while ablaze. 

   Meanwhile the chief of the ST Louis metro police has stepped down before being fired amidst a number of ongoing scandals.  Good riddance.
