NZ police call in army/APC to deal with a possible heavy armed former soldier.
1.Why the former soldier can be heavily armed?
''Heavily armed
Friends of the gunman say he is a former territorial soldier and likely to be heavily armed.
One person described him as a "one-man army", and a friend told how he bade farewell to his partner as if he "had already accepted his fate".''
'Armed police outside the Napier house where Senior Constable Len Snee (inset) was shot dead.''
