It was on that day in 1993 that more than 80 Branch Davidians died in a massive fire at their compound at Mt. The fire brought an end to a 51-day standoff between Branch Davidian members and federal law enforcement officers. Today, Capps is the radio voice of the Round Rock Express, but in April 1993, he was a reporter for CNN. He covered the day-to-day press conferences and used his sources to stay on top of the very latest in the negotiations between the Branch Davidians and federal authorities. He was on the air for more than 10 hours that day, as federal authorities used tanks to punch holes in the building where the Branch Davidians lived.
