Original Note:
The ATF agents were killed in legal self-defense after they initiated the gunfire by killing the Branch Davidians property dogs, prompting the rest of the ATF team to initiate the firefight. This led to a siege resulting in the deaths of 82 people, including 46 children. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/waco/topten.html#:~:text=ATF%20agents%20who%20participated%20in,a%20dog%20outside%20the%20compound.
