event. What are the main facts and story lines?
A man by the name of David Koresh created a cult, the Branch Davidians, who had their own society in a warehouse. A UPS delivery man discovered a mail container that had busted open, revealing illegal firearms. He then reported it to the police and ATF agents got involved, who then received a search warrant to seize the illegal firearms and to discover if there were more. The Davidians refused to let the agents inside Mt. Carmel (the warehouse the cult was hiding/living), causing a 51 day gun standoff, ending in a disastrous fire or explosion, killing 82 Davidians and 4 ATF agents.
