] Granby - It took three explosive charges and an hour with

] bulldozer that destroyed or damaged 13 buildings in this
] mountain town before grinding to a halt under a canopy of
] debris.
]
] Inside, authorities found Marvin Heemeyer dead,
] apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the
] head. However, fearing Heemeyer had left them a
] postmortem booby trap, authorities waited hours before
] using a crane to gingerly remove his body Saturday
] morning from his self-styled, bulletproof cab.
]
] While there were no leftover explosives, local officials
] looked with horror and awe upon the machine of
] destruction created by Heemeyer, a 52-year-old
] muffler-shop owner whose anger is thought to have been
] fueled by a zoning dispute with the town.
