Gunfire broke out on the compound when ATF agents arrived with arrest and search warrants against David Koresh and the Branch Davidian compound, based on evidence that the Davidians were illegally stockpiling weapons. How did the shootout begin? It still isn’t clear.
Koresh joined the Branch Davidians at age 22, and became involved with the sect’s prophetess, Lois Roden. After she died, Koresh challenged Lois’ son George for control, showing up with seven heavily armed followers at the Waco compound. Roden ended up shot in the head and chest, and Koresh and his men were charged with attempted murder. The seven were acquitted; a mistrial was declared for Koresh, who told the jury they’d aimed at a tree.
Then, he assumed leadership of the Branch Davidians. That’s when he changed his name to David Koresh — “for publicity and business purposes,” according to court documents.
