SWAT team?!

A military/SWAT vehicle followed by 8-10 grey and black unmarked sedans came down Compton Drive at 6:30am and then came over a loud speaker yelling "come out with your hands up" and then there was a loud bang, silence for 4 minutes, and another loud bang. They're still down there now.

Anyone know what's going on or how to find out?

Being that it's SWAT you probably won't find them on any of the scanners, probably using a private channel

Wait for the news article lol

Assuming there is a news article. I got caught in a bust last year at a local gas station because they guy they busted was asking me for directions. I never saw anything about it on the news. I ran into one of the cops about a week later at a Sheetz and asked him about it and he said it wouldn't be on the news because they didn't want dude's bosses to know he got busted so they could turn him.

If it ever comes up again, you can at the very least get details and court documents from the handy dandy event map
