Fatalities?
editDid so much as a single person die as a result of the "massacre"? - Fur Die Lulz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.24.190.21 (talk) 00:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, there were no deaths. Bsimmons666 (talk) 02:08, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Is this altercation widely described as a massacre in the academic literature? Could these cops not shoot? I find it hard to believe that even a blind man firing buckshot into a crowd at bayonet range wouldn't cause any fatalities. - Schrandit (talk) 08:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
