4:14 p.m.--People had their legs arms broke. Fractures of legs, arms. Tear gas--that's the baddest thing. The ambulance made several trips. They trampled over people with horses. The people at the church started throwing bricks at the state troopers.

4:34 p.m.--The church is surrounded by possemen, state troopers, and Jim Clark. They have Sylvan Street [the street the church is on] blocked off from one end to the other so people can't get in or out of the church. They are forcing people to go back into their homes, beating them with billy sticks.

Larry Fox:

5:15 p.m.--There is a rumor that if the people don't leave the church, it will be raided by state troopers. This came through a funeral home. Tear gas was shot into a house down the street by state troopers.
