Chris Whitcomb, former FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper, shares his firsthand experience from the infamous 1993 Waco siege. Called in after a deadly 1993 ATF raid on David Koresh’s compound, Whitcomb and his team were tasked with containing a tense standoff between federal agents and Koresh’s heavily armed followers. Over 51 days, Whitcomb provided sniper surveillance, tracking the movements of individuals inside the compound to protect hostages and agents alike. Despite having David Koresh in his crosshairs—Koresh was reportedly shot twice during the standoff—Whitcomb ultimately chose not to fire, emphasizing the complexities of the situation and the priority to preserve life amid an already volatile and tragic siege. His detailed account also highlights how the FBI aimed to resolve the situation peacefully before the final assault ended in fire and loss.
