STANDOFF ENDS WITH 2ND FATAL SHOOTING

VANDALIA, Mich. - A standoff at a campground for marijuana advocates
ended in its fifth day Tuesday with a second man fatally shot by
police after allegedly pointing a weapon at an officer.

Rolland Rohm, 28, had been ordered several times to put his weapon
down, Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood Jr. said. He lived at the
campground, called Rainbow Farms, with 47-year-old Grover Crosslin,
the campground's owner.

Crosslin was fatally shot Monday night by an FBI agent after pointing
a rifle at the agent, Underwood said. Crosslin had been facing felony
drug and weapons charges.

Officials said a third man, Brandon Peoples, suffered minor injuries
when Crosslin was shot. He was being questioned.

Early Tuesday, Rohm had said he would surrender at 7 a.m. if his son
were brought to see him, Underwood said. The sheriff said police were
in the process of granting the request when a fire was reported at
the compound shortly after 6 a.m. and Rohm was seen leaving the
residence with a long gun.

About a half-hour later, Underwood said, police ordered Rohm to drop
the weapon, but he pointed it at the officer.

"We were actually having a dialogue with Mr. Rohm and he was in the
process, we felt, of bringing this to a successful conclusion,"
Underwood said.

A bomb squad was checking the campground after the shooting. "It's
our understanding that the campground has been booby-trapped,"
Underwood said.

Rainbow Farm's website says the campground "supports the medical,
spiritual and responsible recreational uses of marijuana for a more
sane and compassionate America."

The standoff began Friday when deputies went to the farm after
neighbors said Crosslin was burning buildings on the property, which
is the target of civil forfeiture proceedings.

Dori Leo, Crosslin's and Rohm's attorney, said Rohm and his
12-year-old son, who was recently placed in foster care, had lived
with Crosslin at least five years. Leo said Crosslin was upset
because Rohm's son, whom he helped raise, had been taken from the
home.

Authorities alleged Crosslin shot a news helicopter from WNDU-TV in
nearby South Bend, Ind., as it flew overhear Friday. Shots also were
fired at an unmarked state police plane Saturday but missed, police
said. Both aircraft landed safely.

Deputies said they believe Crosslin was upset about a bond revocation
hearing scheduled for Friday, which he did not attend. It was set
because police said he had held a festival at the campground in
violations of the terms of his release on bond after previous drug
and weapons charges.
