CBS4's Copter4 helicopter was the only news helicopter to fly over Granby while the rampage was going on.

Crews brought in a giant landmover, but were unable to stop Heemeyer and his bulldozer.

After the 90-minute rampage, Heemeyer killed himself inside the bulldozer.

The bulldozer was towed out of Granby and eventually dismantled.
