History

Historical Context

The 1993 Waco siege, a 51-day standoff that killed 76 Branch Davidians and four ATF agents, forced the FBI and ATF to overhaul negotiation and inter-agency tactics. Those reforms guided the coordinated response of Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale police on August 13, 2026, when officers surrounded Manor Grove Apartments after an armed suspect fled an Amazon delivery.
