During the shootout, black nationalists and Cleveland policemen exchanged gunfire for roughly an hour. It is unknown who shot first and the exchange of fire has largely been characterized as a disorganized, chaotic event that neither side seemed to be prepared for. By the end of the hour-long shootout 3 white policemen, 3 black nationalists, and one black civilian were dead. Numerous others were injured. The true number of Glenville residents killed remains unknown as additional deaths may have gone unreported due to community fears of the police. | Creator: Bill Nehez | Date: 1968 | Source: The Cleveland Memory ProjectDownload Original File
