I have removed this article from the category "Spree shootings" because to me it doesn't appear to come under that category - see Spree killer for what appears to be a definition. If I'm wrong (I know nothing about this article's subject and little about killing sprees), please correct me.-- A bit iffy 17:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
There is a very detailed fictionalized (but mostly correct) account of this gun battle in the book Unintended Consequences by John Ross. That might deserve a mention.
I thought the kevlar vest was invented in the late 1960s?
I'm trying to remove the word "unfortunately" from "The biggest website about the events of April 11th, 1986 (unfortunately only in Polish)" but the spam filter is preventing that. How is this supposed to be fixed?
Michael Platt is being redirected to this page. Michael Platt is also a writer for the TV series Weeds. Can someone please set up a disambiguation? Joneboi 23:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Would someone like to add additional information about the lighting conditions at the time of the incident. I read somewhere that the car Matix and Platt were driving came to rest in a heavily shaded area, which made it harder for FBI agents to see them clearly. FBI agencts, by contrast, were fully illuminated and easily spotted by the two bank robbers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.104.225 ( talk) 22:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I've found two sources that may very well be of help regarding this article. One is at http://www.firearmstactical.com/briefs7.htm, and provides an extract from Anderson, W. French, M.D.: Forensic Analysis of the April 11, 1986, FBI Firefight. W. French Anderson, M.D., 1996 (127 pages, paperback), and the second is the FBI inquiry into the incident, http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/shooting.htm. Massad Ayoob's Ayoob Files: The Book is rife with inaccuracies, as detailed here. Geoff B ( talk) 18:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I just want to note that this article, or at least the "shootout" section, seems to depend heavily on that one source fireamstactical.com, but doesn't seem to acknowledge this in the article itself... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.248.72.171 ( talk) 06:59, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
I can't seem to find any photos of the perpetrators. Is there a particular reason for this? Or is it just bad search engine performance?-- Anthonzi ( talk) 23:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I edited "The firefight claimed the lives" to "during the firefight... were killed." The wording seemed melodramatic to me. Zenblend ( talk) 05:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

There is an RFC about whether to include this incident in the Ruger Mini-14 article. See Talk:Ruger Mini-14#Rfc: Add major incidents to article?. Felsic2 ( talk) 20:08, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
