Soon after his initial report, Williams radioed to a local dispatch that he and Coler had come under fire from the vehicle's occupants.[1] Williams radioed that they would be killed if reinforcements did not arrive.[28] He next radioed that they both had been shot.[28] FBI Special Agent Gary Adams was the first to respond to Williams' call for assistance, and he also came under gunfire; Adams was unable to reach Coler and Williams in time, and both agents died within the first ten minutes of gunfire.[28] At about 4:25 p.m., authorities recovered the bodies of Williams and Coler from their vehicles.[28] Norman Charles fired at the agents with a stolen British .308 rifle.[28] Peltier allegedly had a AR-15 rifle.[28] The two agents had fired a total of five shots: two from Williams' handgun, one round from Coler's handgun, one round from Coler's rifle, and one round from Coler's shotgun.[28]
