Today-- the federal government conducted tests at Fort Hood in Texas to resolve the issue of whether federal agents fired at the Branch Davidians in the last moments of the Waco standoff.
The government is hopeful it will provide answers to what caused rapid fire bursts of light seen during the siege's final moment.
Branch Davidian plaintiffs suing the government contend that the bursts of light are proof of gunfire from government positions into the compound.
The government, on the other hand, has always insisted that its forces did not fire shots on the siege's final day in 1993.

Officers reacted quickly after several shots were fired at police cars stationed around a home just outside Baltimore ... where officials say 31-year old Joseph Palczynski has been holed up since Friday ... and is believed to be holding relatives of his ex-girlfriend hostage. Authorities say the first shots rang out around 8:30 this morning ... in an apparent attempt by Palczynski to get the officers to move farther back.

((sot: Anna Day/neighbor))
"Early this morning he said mom there are gunshots. I said no there's not. And the last time I heard them there was a lot of them."
Then later, another round of bullets was fired.

((sot: Bill Toohey/Police Spokesman))
"We hadn't heard from him for about an hour and a half so we sent an armored vehicle with a bullhorn and he responded by shooting at the armored personnel carrier. No one has been hurt."
Palczynski has been keeping police on the move since March 7th ... when he allegedly killed three people while kidnapping his former gilfriend, Tracy Whitehead. She managed to escape unharmed. Palczynski is also accused of killing a fourth person during a carjacking.
Police say Palczynski has a history of domestic violence and mental illness dating back to 1988. Negotiators -- along with the help of family and friends -- are now trying to get Palczynski to turn himself in ... before anymore bloodshed.))
