It’s been 30 years since federal authorities raided the Branch Davidian compound in Texas, but the Waco siege continues to captivate the American public. On February 28, 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant on the religious cult’s Mount Carmel Center ranch, but a shootout began, resulting in the deaths of four agents and six Branch Davidians. For 51 days, FBI agents besieged the compound and traded fire with leader David Koresh and his members, until April 19, 1993, when they launched a tear gas attack. A fire soon engulfed the building, leading to the deaths of Koresh and 75 Branch Davidians and bringing the standoff to an end.
