"Worst single killing of peace officers in U.S. history prior to 9/11"

edit

This statement has a "needs citation" tag attached to it currently. The Wiki article on the Going Snake Massacre, however, claims that eight U.S. Marshals were killed while attempting to take custody of an alleged murderer named Zeke Proctor in 1872. Only six officers were killed by the Young brothers. Does this knock that assertion out of the water, or is there some reason to discount it? 71.129.81.136 20:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clarification

The article states it is the worst in the 20th Century. "...making it the worst single killing of U.S. police officers in a gunfight in the 20th century." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.160.122.154 (talk) 06:52, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
