Day 39 of the Waco Standoff

April 7, 1993
There was no activity until 10:00 a.m. when an individual exited the compound and walked into the courtyard. The FBI activated two "flash bangs" (a "flash bang" is a stunning device emitting bright light, sound and smoke to divert the activity and attention of the subject) into the courtyard, causing the person to go back inside.
At 10:59 a.m., Schneider called about the "flash bang" incident, claiming that no one had been outside. Koresh came on the line and said that "Passover" would be observed for seven more days. When asked if he was going to come out then, Koresh began a long, rambling religious statement, and refused to confirm his surrender.
At 8:00 p.m., Schneider called-the negotiators. He refused to give even an estimated date for the Davidians' exit from the compound

(The Myth: There is all kinds of evidence showing that the FBI shot those people! All kinds!)

[The Truth: No there isn’t. Not a single bullet in the bodies of the Davidians matches the caliber of the guns the FBI used that day at Waco, but they DID match the caliber of the guns the Davidians were packing.]
