Special Report Transcript Episode 18, Section 2, Time 05:24

Shortly afterward police again set up a roadblock on this road and this vehicle was also stopped. The driver of the vehicle opened fire with a Russian manufactured pistol. Police returned the fire and the driver and passengers died in a hail of bullets. // According to the official records they said it was a road block and none of these officers were in police uniform. They all were wearing jeans, takkies and t-shirts. I mean, who’s going to stop for them? I’m not going to stop in the middle of the night if some guy jump in front of me with a machine gun, and say police! I’m gonna go right through him.
