Also, in Quantico, the FBI training centre, law enforcement officers are taught the difference between cars. At any rate, Peltier was among the AIMers responsible for the welfare of some of the Lakota youth that were present that day, and help to remove them from immediate danger. Now, we don't know who they are talking to as they are supposed to be the only ones on the rez to deliver the warrant. Yet, it appears that there are other cars. When shots are fired, the chase is on.
Problem is, according to eyewitnesses, the agents followed the vehicle in., staying close behind it.
The vehicle sped up at one point, the agents then pulled their car over and jumped out, opened fire. The wound, which was probably fatal, put Coler out of action, leaving Williams truly alone. This left the prosecution with the prospect that the weapon or weapons used to kill the agents could have anything from a .22 long rifle, to everything falling within the .30 caliber series, a broad array of weaponry not linkable to anyone at all. AIM member Joe Killsright Stuntz was also killed during the shoot out, there has never been so much as an inquiry into his death. From what we know, he was killed by a sniper at long range.
