GRANBY, Colo. - Police surrounded a makeshift armored bulldozer in which an armed man was rampaging through this northern Colorado town Friday afternoon, firing shots and knocking down several buildings, local media reported.

The bulldozer was reported to have been flipped over in a hardware store that it barreled into late Friday afternoon as police fired high-powered weapons at it.
Scott Schaffer, a witness, told NBC affiliate KUSA-TV of Denver that bullets could not penetrate the homemade armor plating, which appeared to have been welded onto a large tracked Caterpillar tractor.
“It is completely armored,” Schaffer said. “There is no way to get to it.”
“Think of the biggest bulldozer you’ve ever seen in your life, completely covered up in steel,” Schaffer said. “He’s got gun turrets. ... He’s even got the tracks covered up.”
