Two Jeeps filled with National Guardsmen stopped briefly at Twin Peaks and Robert Rio roads in Poway about 2:15 p.m. Two guardsmen hopped out and took positions on either side of Robert Rio, decked out in camouflage and holding M-16s.

The Jeeps rumbled on north up Twin Peaks Road, and a block away, two more guardsmen jumped out. The troops stopped motorists trying to take side streets. They appeared to ask some people for identification.
