FROM THE FINAL REPORT of Captain Edward X. Delaney, NYPD-EXD-1SEP1968.

“My assault forces were in position. The moment I heard the envelopment squad start their mission, the searchlight car—as per my previous orders—illuminated the front of the building. We were almost immediately fired upon from a fourth-floor window. I shouted to my men to hold their fire.”
