"The ONG troops were forced into a position where their backs were against a wall, actually a sort of L-shaped area formed by buildings."
Not so - see the pix at NPR.org, under Talk of the Nation.
The troops ran past the building up the hill, then at the top of the hill, turned around and shot into the parking lot where most of the demonstrators weren't. That's why they mostly shot people who weren't protesting.
At Jackson State 10 days later, they shot into a women's dorm! And again, the people they killed weren't the protesters.
