Delta Burke Currently Seeking Psychiatric Care!
On TMZ, late last night, very late, I might add, close to midnight, California time, I learned that Delta Burke has checked herself into a Psychiatric Hospital! She gave her story to TMZ through a phone interview. Such a brave thing to do. I'm sure with the money and influence behind her, and her husband, actor Gerald McRaney, she could have staffed off the story coming out a little longer. --You go Girl! Share with us your story! Keep being ever so sweetly brave. By telling your tale, you may be able to help others! I am quite proud of you!-- The irony lies in the fact that Britney Spears wanted "desperately" out, and not so long after, nearly immediately, Delta Burke wanted desperataely in! Check out the latest news covering through the link within this post. Something I found to be quite peculiar is, there is one story out there that says she's in, and one story that says she's not! Go figure! I'm praying for ya Delta Way. -SD

WINNETKA - Los Angeles police officers this morning rammed a vehicle into the home a man who killed a SWAT officer and wounded another after he claimed to have killed three family members.
Police pumped the house full of tear gas about 6 a.m., and the house became engulfed in flames. The fire was possibly caused by a flash-bang grenade, said LAPD Deputy Chief Michel Moore, the Valley Bureau's top cop. He also said that it was also possible that the suspect caused the fire.
The suspect was reported dead at the scene.
The incident began over 10 hours ago when the man, who was reported to be in custody, had telephoned authorities to say he had killed three family members. He allegedly shot to death an LAPD SWAT officer today and
Los Angeles Police Officer Randy Simmons died in the line of duty this morning in a standoff with a barricaded suspect in Winnetka. wounded another during a gunbattle inside a Winnetka home, police said.
It was the first fatality in the history of the elite LAPD SWAT team, which was created in 1967.
Officer Randy Simmons, 51, died at 1 a.m. James Veenstra, also 51, was injured, police said this morning. Both worked on the SWAT team for 20 years. Veenstra is in critical condition and is expected to survive. He is the husband of a LAPD captain.
"It was a tragedy what happened out there," said LAPD Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell. "But it could havae been much worse."
An emotional Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine said the officers did a tremendous job.
"This is this is very quiet, well established community," he said. "This is highly unusual for
this community."
At 5 a.m., the man remained barricaded inside the home in 19800 block Welby Way, First-Assistant police Chief Jim McDonnell said in a briefing outside Northridge Medical Center on Roscoe Blvd. in Northridge.
Some 200 officers, included SWAT team members, surrounded the residence in a standoff that McDonnell referred to as an ongoing "dynamic tactical situation." An armored SWAT vehicle was at the scene and helicopters circled overhead.
Police did not immediately confirm
Officer James Veenstra was injured this morning in a standoff with a barricaded suspect in Winnetka. (Gene Blevins/Daily News)that three civilians had been killed, as the suspect said when he called police last night, but people familiar with the operation told camera crews at the scene that two bodies were inside the residence in addition to the one that could be seen on the front lawn.
McDonnell said SWAT officers entered the residence shortly after 12:30 a.m., triggering an exchange in which two veteran officers were wounded. One died at Northridge Medical Center shortly after 1 this morning, and the other was in surgery as of 5 a.m., he said in a briefing also attended by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Each of the two officers who was shot spent more than 25 years in the Los Angeles Police Department, more than 20 in the SWAT team, McDonnell said.
Even though the SWAT team has been involved in thousands of incidents, this was the first to have claimed the life of one of the unit's members, he said.
"I want to say how deeply saddened we are this morning that we lost a member of our LAPD family," McDonnell said. "Our hearts and prayers go out to these families at this tough time."
Villaraigosa said the officer's death was a reminder of how perilous the work performed by police.
The incident began around 9 p.m. yesterday when a man locked himself up inside a home near Vanowen Street and Oakdale Avenue, according to an officer at the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Station.
Chief William Bratton, who has been attending an international conference of police chiefs in Vancouver, Canada, is returning to L.A. in response to the incident, police said.
