Police scanner info from Aug. 2010:

Aug. 15-16? 2010:

During the infancy of the Police Scanner Blog Site, there was an incident that occurred at the Lawrence, KS Water Treatment Facility located next to Burcham Park. This ordeal was heard clearly over the police scanner, but was never blogged. Apparently, an armed gunman drove into the facility, and fired shots, as reported by the neighbor across the street. We think the neighbor called 911 before the people at the water treatment plant did. Police responded, and were on scene in a few minutes as they always do. At gunpoint by police, the armed man got back into his car. Police coaxed him out safely, and had him out of the car and on the ground. At that point the scanner went dead, as we thought the police went to G-com, or a private frequency. We heard a medical call soon after, but it gave little detail. Later there was a code orange, signal 3, Possibly a "crazy" person at LMH? This is the best any of us remember this incident.

Does anyone know anything about this?

This incident was one of a few that got us hooked on listening to the Police scanner.
