Waco standoff continues Sunday
WACO. Texas (AP) — Federal agents didn't < nr
rv automath weapons when they raided n heavily
armed religious compound lust month because
they were concerned nhout the safety of women
and children inside, an agent said Sunday.
Four agents were killed and lfi wounded Feb 28
.when efforts by the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco and
Firearms to arrest Branch Davidian loader David
Koresh triggered a fierce 45-minute gunfight
The agency later said it was outgunned during
the shootout in which at least two cult members
were also killed The month long standoff that fol
lowed remained unresolved Sunday with nearly
too people inside and authorities saying they
haven't talked to Koresh by phone sim •• Wednes
day.
"The reason that we did not assault this com
pound with fully automatic machine guns is
that we are n law enforcement agency.” said David
Troy, intelligence chief for the AIT. "This was not
a military assault whom a body count was going to
lie added up at the end. This was a situation where
we hod women and children inside the com
pound."
As the standoff continues, negotiators said they
believe Koresh may bo isolating himself from them
to get away from the stress of the situation The
FBI said authorities also worry that Koresh may
order his followers to do something drastic, such
as commit suicide.
“Various suicide pacts have been proposed by
those inside the compound, principally by Mr
Koresh,” said FBI agent Boh Kicks lie added that
authorities believe none have been carried out
because Koresh has lost his nerve for the time
being
"So as he bei omes more and more withdrawn

and more delusional, we are still very much con
cerned that he may force his followers to do things
that are not rational." Kicks said.
farter Sunday, about 50 people gathered at a
prayer vigil in downtown Waco to call for a peace
ful ending to the stalemate.
"There is no weapon in this world stronger than
prayer," said Bill Thrasher, operations manager for
the Christian radio station KBBW. which had the
vigil
Ninety-seven people were believed holed up
inside the compound Sunday, including 17 chil
dren That number also includes two people who
aren't (tilt members but who sneaked past author
ities and into the compound during the last week.
Several other people who tried to enter the com
pound were turned away, authorities said. A Waco
man was arrested Sunday after he was turned back
at a roadblock and tried again to get in.
Koresh has said he is Jesus Christ, and one of the
people who tried to enter the compound Sunday
was a man claiming to be God. said ATF spokes
woman Franceska Perot.
"There was a guy holding an envelope with
polygraph results showing he was God," Perot
said.
