[edit] Was this a "fight"?

"Bunchy Carter and John Huggins, leaders in the Black Panther Party and UCLA students, were killed "while the two were in an altercation involving an US member, Harold Jones-Tawala," Brown wrote. "The shoot-out had an immediate crippling effect on the Black Congress."
The alleged shooter was never found, but brothers George Ali-Stiner and Larry Watani-Stiner were convicted for conspiracy to commit murder and second-degree murder. The brothers escaped from prison, but in 1994 Watani-Stiner turned himself in."
Would it be more clear if it was "Bunchy Carter and John Huggins, leaders in the Black Panther Party and UCLA students, were killed in a shootout with Harold Jones-Tawala, a member of rival group United Slaves"
Just trying to get more detail here...otherwise it hardly seems like a moment to memorialize for Jan 17th...initial phrasing makes it seem like any other gang fight, and doesn't detail who got killed.--JereKrischel 10:51, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
A Green Day cd release is hardly a historical event, I am removing it from the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.138.175.46 (talk • contribs) 00:10, January 18, 2006 (UTC)
