he - oF WILLIAM RUSSELL MATIX, ET AL buckshot from a service issued REMINGTON, Model 870 pump shotgun. After firing the last shotgun round SA MIRELES drew his service revolver, approached the subjects, firing six rounds through the automobile front driver window at subjects MATIX and PLATT. Examination of casualties at the scene by arriving medical personnel determined that SA's GROGAN and DOVE were deceased, subjects MATIX and PLATT were deceased and SA's MCNEILL, HANLON and MIRELES were critically wounded. SA's MCNEILL and HANLON were transported to a local hospital facility by MEDIVAC helicopter service. SA MIRELES was transported to a medical facility by ambulance. SA's MANAUZZI and ORRANTIA were transported via FBI vehicle, treated for multiple shotgun pellet and shrapnel penetration, and released the same day. Post shooting investigation at the scene has determined that approximately 143 shots were fired in the exchange. Eyewitness statements suggest that several automobiles drove into, or through the shooting parameter during the incident, but it is not verified from which direction they came or what route L was taken in exit. Best estimates derived from review of ? recorded radio bec j and witness recollection support the conclusion that the gun battle lasted for a period of four to five minutes. Autopsy examination of the subjects determined that MATIX had been hit six times and PLATT had been hit twelve times. Evidence indicates that the subjects were wounded while in the Monte Carlo (at the onset of the qun fire exchange), while firing at SA's from the vantage point in the front area of their Monte Carlo, while entering the FBI GROGAN/DOVE unit and while in the FBI vehicle during their attempted flight from the scene. During the shooting incident the subjects fired one 12 ga. Shotgun, two .357 Cal. revolvers and one .223 Cal. semi-automatic rifle.
