SECOND DEATH CAPS CAMPGROUND STANDOFF

VANDALIA, Mich. -- A campground standoff 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, was shot the day after his roommate was killed by an
FBI agent, Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood Jr. said.

Rohm had been ordered several times to put his weapon down, but
pointed the gun at a state trooper and was shot, Underwood said.

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

Officials said a third man, Brandon J. Peoples, suffered minor
injuries when Crosslin was shot and was being questioned. Authorities
did not release any other information on Peoples.

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 an 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.

Rohm lived at the campground, called Rainbow Farms, with its owner,
Grover T. Crosslin. Crosslin, 47, was fatally shot Monday evening by
an FBI agent after pointing a rifle at the agent, Underwood said.

Crosslin had been facing felony drug and weapons charges, authorities
said.

The standoff began Friday when deputies went to the farm after
neighbors said Crosslin was burning buildings on his property, which
is the target of civil forfeiture proceedings. A house and four main
buildings appeared to have been burned since then, Underwood said.

Crosslin reportedly warned neighbors that day to leave the area
because "all hell was going to break loose."

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 for at least five years. Leo said Crosslin was upset
because Rohm's son, whom he helped raise, had been taken from the home.

Deputies said they believe Crosslin was upset about a bond revocation
hearing scheduled for Friday. It was set because police believed he
had held a festival on the campground, in violation of the terms of
his release on previous drug and weapons charges.

Crosslin was arrested in May over allegations of marijuana use at his
34-acre campground and charged with felony possession of a firearm,
growing marijuana and maintaining a drug house.

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

Crosslin had said he bought the property about 15 years ago to support
"the medical, spiritual and responsible recreational uses of marijuana
for a more sane and compassionate America."
