VICTIM:

FRED HAMPTON

Cause of Death:

MULTIPLE GUNSHOT WOUNDS

Official Verdict:

SHOT WHILE ASSAULTING POLICE OFFICERS DURING RAID Police said they attempted to peacefully serve a warrant and were met with massive gunfire from inside the apartment, so they fired back. Police testified that in excess of 200 shots were exchanged in a two-sided gun battle that lasted approximately ten to twelve minutes.

Actual Circumstances:

The raid was actually a massive police assault by a special tactical unit of 15 plainclothes officers armed with everything from machine guns to sawed-off shotguns. Contrary to knocking on the door to serve a warrant, actually they stormed into the small apartment from both the front and back at 4:45 a.m. with weapons blazing. Ballistics evidence reveals that only one shot came from inside the apartment, which was fired directly into the door and did not wound anyone.

All other gunfire was from police, directed at those inside. Victim was drugged by an FBI informant and was totally unconscious during the raid. Victim was shot in bed while unconscious, then dragged out of bed and, still alive, was then executed by a police officer with two shots to the head at point-blank range.
