Eau Claire Man, Mother Charged In Standoff With Authorities

An Eau Claire man and his mother face more than a dozen criminal charges in a stand-off with authorities at their home last week.  Nicholas Burr was accused of firing a shotgun into the air while he was arguing with his mother, Ruth.  One witness says he tried to fire the gun a second time, but it jammed.  When Eau Claire police arrived at the west side neighborhood, they say he was yelling, but he wasn’t making sense.  Nicholas and Ruth Burr both shouted that he didn’t fire a gun, but instead set off a firecracker.  At one point, Ruth Burr used a five-year-old girl to shield her son.  Both suspects have court appearances scheduled for next month.
