Veteran killed in shoot out 'freaked out' after war
By The Associated Press
AURORA, Ind. A 30-year-old veteran killed in a gun
battle with police after firebombing a store and shooting
'three officers was an "extremely disturbed" man who
was changed by his service in Vietnam, his father says.
Michael J. Tandy, 30, who died Sunday, was "a different
person" and would "change personalities" after returning
from Vietnam, said his father, Joe.
He said his son never spoke about his time as a Marine
in Vietnam.
"But when you live with someone all their life, you know
when there's something wrong," he said. "He was ex
tremely disturbed."
The war "freaked him out. I was scared of that guy,"
said Donna Goodpaster, whose parents' business was
destroyed in the firebombing. She said that when Tandy
returned from Vietnam he talked of soldiers cutting off
people's ears and "putting them on necklaces."
Minneapolis airline faces bad publicity over accidents
By JOHN LUNDQUIST
Associated Press Writer
MINNEAPOLIS These are tur
bulent times for Republic Airlines,
the Minneapolis-based airline
plagued by several well-publicized
abcidents and a loss of more than $lOO
million since Jan. 1.
But President and Chief Executive
Officer Daniel F. May said the inci
dents, which began in April, have
been exaggerated, and that getting
the airline back into the black is his
major concern.
"With the unfavorable and inaccu
rate publicity we have received re
cently, some consumer confidence
was lost," May reported to Repub
lic's 14,700 employees in a letter ear
lier this month.
"I think we have been snake bit,"

he said later in an interview. "When
you have an incident or two, anything
that happens is blown out of propor

Police said young Tandy sometimes wore a robe and
told people he was Moses.
"He had many friends and didn't get into trouble"
during his high school years, the elder Tandy said. "But
when he came back from Vietnam, he didn't want any
thing to do with anybody."
Early Sunday, Tandy, wearing military camouflage
fatigues, tried - unsuccessfully to firebomb the police
station in this town of about 3,800. He then fired a 12-gauge
shotgun at dispatcher Julie Svara, who was slightly
injured, police said.
Tandy fled and firebombed an upholstery shop, destroy
ing it and damaging a card shop next door, police said.
While firemen battled the fire, he "just ran around,
firing anywhere," said Police Chief Gary L. Watts. "He
had a rifle and some Molotov cocktails in his parked truck,
like he was on a military mission."
During an exchange of shots between Tandy and sher
iff's deputies and officers from Aurora and two other

tear loose. The case is still under
investigation.
In other incidents:
• A DC-9 flying from Minneapolis
to Los Angeles in April lost power
over Utah and dropped to a few
thousand feet before landing at Mc-
Carran International Airport in Las
Vegas, Nev

captain was dismissed a week after
the incident and the co-pilot was
suspended for six months.

towns, sheriff's Lt. Thomas Bauer and town Patrolman
Tom Cochran were wounded. Cochran then shot and killed
Tandy, police said.
"We determined there were 26 shots fired from Tandy
and a total of 12 handgun rounds and four shotgun rounds
returned from police," state police Sgt. Lyman P. Conley
said Monday.
Bauer was listed in fair condition yesterday in intensive
care at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati. Cochran
was treated and released.
Joe Tandy said the family had tried to get help for his
son through the Veterans Administration but the VA
"didn't seem too concerned "
Kitty Hess, a spokeswoman for the Veterans Adminis
tration Hospital in Cincinnati, said yesterday that Tandy
was treated there in 1975.
"He was here for two months . . . but we don't have any
record of him or his family applying for help here in the
last eight years," she said.

On Aug. 19, both engines of a United

he believes Tandy, who recently returned to Aurora from
an oil rig job in Louisiana, may have suffered from post
traumatic stress disorder, also known as delayed stress
syndrome.
"When veterans are under certain kinds of stress, they
revert back to a combat situation," he said.

Conley said Tandy had been "on the brink" and that
police had watched him for years but never made an
arrest.
"He had kind of a pattern," he said. "He'd come into
town, become involved in,a minor disturbance, leave the
area and then return again
"We all realized sooner or later we were going to have a
problem with him. He told more than one person he was
Moses and had a deep infatuation with religion. He was
seen walking around with a robe, carrying a staff."
Goodpaster said Tandy would "go down to the Ohio
River and try to baptize people. He did baptize people. He
was eerie. He always shaved his head and wore a beard.
He was always . . . in Army clothes."

every incident doesn't seem to be
right."
Redmond Tyler, a Republic spokes
man, said the publicity hurt business.
He said the airlirie had 46,763 seat
reservations by phone the first week
of August, but that number slipped to
43,538 the following week. Normally,
they'd be about the same, he said.
Republic has accused employees of
Northwest Orient, another airline
based in Minneapolis, of Spreading
rumors that Republic was headed for
bankruptcy
May told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press
in an interview that "It's not abnor
mal for an aggressive sales staff to do
things without executive approval."
Brent Baskfield, Northwest vice
president for public relations, said
the company has a "long established
corporate policy that prohibits em
ployees from discussing the finances
of any airline. To our knowledge, this
policy has been strictly adhered to."
Republic reported a net loss of
nearly $lO3 million for the first six
months of this year, compared with a
loss of $6.7 million in the first half of
1982. Passenger operating revenues
fell from $722.2 million in the first half
of 1982 to $671.4 million for the same
period this year.
But operating profit climbed from
$16.4 million in 1981 to $37.2 million in
1982, a performance that won some
respect among financial analysts and
bankers.
Still, analysts are skeptical, and
