A retired F-B-I agent talks about a confrontation in Waco two decades ago. The incident occurred at the Branch Davidian compound where many members of a cult perished. Bobcat Update's Jasmine Torres tells us more.
Retired agent Byron Sage served as lead negotiator during a 51-day siege that ended in April 1993.

David Koresh was the leader of the Branch Davidians. In late February of 1993, more than 70 federal agents attempted to raid the Davidian complex where they believed illegal weapons were being stored. Four agents were killed and more than a dozen injured.

On April 19th, the siege ended after Koresh and his followers set fire to the compound resulting in the deaths of 76 people, including many children. Sage says the Branch Davidian case was the most difficult of his career. Sage was a guest lecturer last week at Texas State, sponsored by the School of Criminal Justice.
