One of the masked men pointed a gun at Elder Thompson, but Elder Barry grabbed it with both hands, which allowed Thompson the opportunity to escape through the back door and into the nearby woods. Just as he left the house, he saw two guns being leveled at Berry, who was shot in the waist and fell without a sound. Martin Condor was still tangling with Hinson when one of the gang shot him dead. Hinson ran to the door to leave, apparently satisfied with the shootings of Gibbs and Berry. Unexpectedly, Hutson descended from the loft where his gun was stashed. Two attackers grabbed him, but he twisted free long enough to shoot Hinson just as he was bolting out the front door. As Hinson dropped in the doorway, someone shouted: 'I'll have revenge," and another shot rang out and hit Hutson, who died an hour later.
