on-site assignment conference, SA's proceeded to their respective
assignment locations and began routine canvassing of these areas,
to include personal contact with bank personnel and local police
patrol officers in the vicinity.
At 9:26 a.m. SA BENJAMIN GROGAN (accompanied in his
vehicle by SA JERRY DOVE) addressed radio traffic to all assigned
units that he was behind a black two-door Monte Carlo, Florida
license NIJ-891, traveling north on South Dixie Highway. SA
GROGAN continued to furnish description of the vehicle, its
Girection of travel and occupant information as well as instruct
the FBI unit with local police radio equipment to request
emergency back-up with marked patrol units.
At approximately 9:30 a.m. SA GROGAN and DOVE had been
joined in the close surveillance of the subjects vehicle by three
additional FBI units, with a fourth unit closing to a distance
of approximately three blocks. All units were now located in a
residential neighborhood, several blocks removed from the
congestion of South Dixie Highway. The subjects, becoming aware
of the surveillance, began to drive in an erratic manner,
apparently trying to set up a break-out situation facilitating
- their escape. SA GORDON MCNEILL, (Squad Supervisor) observed the
subjects loading weapons and transmitted that information. At
this point SA GROGAN (first vehicle behind subjects) ordered the
stop/arrest, with SA,s GROGAN and DOVE transmitting, "Felony car
stop, take them, felony car stop, lets do it."
SA GROGAN engaged his emergency vehicle equipment
(police lights and siren) and surveilling SA's therein attempted
to contain and stop the subjects, while traveling south in the
l22nd block of 82nd Avenue, Miami, Florida. As FBI vehicles
attempted to pass the subjects, they swerved to the right,
braked, and left the pavement. SA MANAUZZI observed the
passenger subject preparing to fire on the overtaking vehicles
and rammed the Monte Carlo in an effort to incapacitate the
occupants. SA HANLON swung his unit abreast of the subject
automobile and rammed it in an effort to stop it. Subsequent
repeated ramming/counter-ramming by these two vehicles resulted
in the loss of control of the FBI vehicle, and its' ultimate
collision with a retaining wall on the west side of 82nd Av.

Avenue. SA Manauzzi, momentarily stopped from the impact of the
previous ramming by his vehicle, observed the subject's vehicle
returning in his direction and rammed their vehicle a second
time, resulting in termination of the vehicle stop effort. [See
EXHIBIT A.} .
Both of the subjects initiated firing from within their
vehicle before SA's could completely exit their respective units.
SA Manauzzi was hit by two separate shotgun blasts as he exited —
