Here is the scene outside Wheeler after they managed to set up the barricade fence.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOI5l2_RghQ&feature=player_embedded The latest on twitter is that a SWAT team, or something resembling that, is taking the doors off the hinges of the room they barricaded themselves in. It should be clear what happened in a few minutes.
