"The people within the camp decided to run for their lives. I don't actually know what precipitated it but they ran through the human barricade of government forces and I guess the more they tried the better the success is thought so lots of people ran. They didn't succeed. They were shot, bayoneted and the government forces chased them down. That went on for some period of time. There was a storm at the same time so it really was quite a tumultuous event."
