Federal Troops Shoot Uncooperative Farmer

     "I heard this noise and looked out the window and these guys in gas masks and plastic suits were hopping out of helicopters," she told a Third Eye Special Correspondant.

     Kenny Mac Davis, a 16 year-old amateur photographer, had been working in an improvised darkroom when he heard the arriving choppers.

     "They came in real low and fast. I thought, 'wow, cool!' and I loaded up my camera and started shooting out the doorway. Then my dad climbed out onto the porch roof. One of the soldiers held up his hands and said he just wanted to play a board game with us. I heard Dad yell back, "Board game my ass!" and he shot him in the knee with his deer rifle. Then they opened up on him with their machine guns. But I was so into snapping photos, you know, I hardly noticed. All I wanted to do was snap, snap, snap. He got hit bad and flopped back into the house-it was horrible. Then one of the soldiers saw me and came running into the shop. I was a total dork; I just I kept shooting pictures. He knocked the camera out of my hands and pushed me onto the floor. Then he smashed the camera with his rifle butt and left. I was too scared to get up for a while."

     "I thought they blew in the side of the house!" Lucy says of the assault by the troops. "Plaster fell off the ceiling, windows broke. I was so scared. And then I heard the helicopters fly away. I went upstairs and found Doug lying on the floor moaning. You can see daylight through the holes in the walls."

     Doug Mac Davis was flown to Podebrad Medical Center in Zoar. He is listed in critical condition.

     The Pentagon denies all knowledge concerning the action, calling it "A poor story thinnly disguised to cover up drug-related violence."
