According to the same program, the crisis committee delegated to make decisions on how to deal with the incident consisted of Bruno Merk ( the Bavarian interior minister ), Hans-Dietrich Genscher ( the West German interior minister ) and Manfred Schreiber ( Munich's Chief of Police ); in other words, two politicians and one tactician.
The program mentioned that a year before the Games, Schreiber had participated in another hostage crisis ( a failed bank robbery ) in which he ordered a marksman to shoot one of the perpetrators, who was only wounded.
As a result, the robbers shot dead an innocent woman and Schreiber had been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
An investigation ultimately cleared him of any wrongdoing, but the program suggested that the prior incident affected his judgment in the subsequent Olympic hostage crisis.
