Medium head-on shot of FBI agent Bob Ricks, who served as FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge during the Waco siege. He stands at a lectern with many microphones on top of it. He gives this part of his statement: "We always have regrets when human life is lost. What we do not regret is that we believe that this thing had to be brought to a logical conclusion at some point. We think ultimately that more than likely they were preparing for an armed standoff. We believe we frustrated that effort. We never fired one single round of ammunition. "His desire, and I've stated it repeatedly as much as I could without seeming overly dramatic, was that he wanted to have as many people killed in that compound as possible. That is why it was named the Ranch Apocalypse. All of us in the FBI, we feel very sadly for all the members of the family. This is a very tragic event. We were doing what we thought was best to prevent this tragedy from occurring."
