Leighton police chief brandon hood told me they found six guns inside of clapps home and believe he used at least four of them to shoot at officers.

This is what clapps home looks like today with just about every window busted out.

That's because flornece swat team threw gas through these windows which is what eventually made clapp surrender.

Hood said clapp was taken to helen keller hospital for observation and said they plan to subpeona his medical records from last night to see if this event was a mental break or drug induced.
