It took him a few moments to switch to a full fighting load. He attached his night vision onto his rifle, verified everything was secured, and jogged out into the night air. He could see Terri, Betty and the kids heading to the room as he left. Others had heard the shots, and a group of men was gathering on Main Street. Bishop ran up and found Pete pointing west toward the roadblock. More individual shots sounded, followed closely by a long rattle of automatic weapons fire. Bishop asked, “Do the guys manning the roadblock have auto weapons?” One of the men answered nervously, “No – someone from the outside is shooting.” A pickup truck started its engine nearby and quickly pulled up to the group of men. Bishop recognized the driver from the town meeting earlier in the day. All of the men started climbing into the bed, handing up their weapons as they pulled themselves into the back of the truck.
