A jeep with a big white star printed on the hood was parked by the church. I asked what was going on.
-
The driver got out of the jeep

-
He got out of the car too, pointed the Thompson gun
-
and fired a spray of bullets.

I asked him why he killed them, since they had surrendered and were our prisoners.

and set their offices there.
