Randall Terry, Flip Benham, Shelley Shannon (shot Dr. Tiller the FIRST time, in the arms), Don Treshman.

Don Treshman in court, on the stand in sworn testimony:

"Q. Mr. Treshman, this newsletter you have in your hand reports on the murder of Dr. David Gunn. Does your organization condemn or condone the murder of Dr. David Gunn?

A. We neither condemn nor condone the murder of Dr. Gunn."
