Standoff in Tiny Village Two Days after Man Ambushed and Fatally Shot Two Officers, Authorities Say

(AP) A SWAT team and dozens of other law officers surrounded a house in a tiny Alaskan village where a gunman took refuge after he allegedly killed two local lawmen in an ambush, authorities said.

Hoonah police officers Tony Wallace and Matt Tokuoka died after the shooting late Saturday, said Bob Prunella, acting city administrator.

"We believe they were ambushed by the individual," Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said.

John Marvin Jr., 45, barricaded himself in his home and Alaska State Troopers and other law enforcement agencies were at the scene Sunday, maintaining their positions through the night.

1. Time to "reload" in Alaska.....follow sarah nut-ball...
I know this probably has little to do with her idiotic statements as of late, but I think this is one more example of psychotic, phobic individuals who are weak minded enough to see some sort of support from these lunatic reich winger statements of support for gun ownership.

What a total waste of human life. Sorta like Iraq and Afghanistan, eh?

2. Absolutely right on! And true for the wars as well. I have never heard
Sarah Palin asking her followers to respect law and order, and put their guns down.

What Sarah and Michele and Sharron say scares me, it really does.

5. That is really sad. Hoonah has a problem with alcohol and drugs, lots of fishers come there also to
party and all that goes along with it.
