Randy's son Sammy sees some stranger in camo shoot his dog so he shoots at the stranger. The strangers shoot back killing Sammy as he ran away.

A family friend named Kevin Harris who was with Sammy shot and killed the unidentified stranger. He ended up getting shot in return. As they ran away Randy's wife held the door open and she got shot in the head.

After over a week someone finally realized they had no real line of communication with Weaver and no real way to try and talk him down. Someone finally just walks up, knocks on the door, and has a conversation.

Harris was dying so they made arrangements for him to go to the hospital. He was charged with killing a federal agent. Finally Randy surrendered and was taken into custody. At one point the feds were so desperate for a conviction they tried to slap his daughters with criminal charges but that got thrown out.

Harris was acquitted for killing a federal agent because they hadn't identified themselves and it turns out "strangers shooting at you" is a pretty darn good reason to shoot back in self defense.

When others drove past a sinking school bus, Tank Morrison stopped. At 68, with a body worn by age, he leapt into the rushing waters without hesitation. Inside, children were screaming for their lives.

One by one, he pulled seven kids from the submerged bus. But 14-year-old Emma was swept downstream. Tank reached her, and for three long hours—his arm broken, his side bleeding—he held her above the water, whispering words of courage to keep her calm.

When rescuers finally arrived, Emma lived. But Tank, his strength spent, slipped beneath the waves.
