For nearly two months in 1993, the city of Waco, Texas was under the spotlight for the intense standoff between federal and state law enforcement against the religious sect The Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh.

After allegations of abuse and potentially housing illegal weapons, law enforcement began investigating and decided to arrest Koresh. The decision would lead to a siege lasting two months, which ended in tragedy.
