Description: Lieutenant House's SWAT team was called to assist federal & state law enforcement agencies during a siege of a family compound in Marion, Utah, which had lasted twelve days. On January 28,1988, while carrying out an arrest plan designed by the FBI, Lieutenant House was fatally shot by a .30 caliber steel-jacketed round fired from a Plainfield carbine rifle. He was wearing a body armor vest the department had purchased in 1981. Although it contained hard ceramic inserts which upgraded its stopping capabilities, the bullet struck the non-ceramic inside edge of the hard armor chest panel and then penetrated through the soft-body portion of the vest, causing Lieutenant House's death.
