Page "Mutulu Shakur" Paragraph 2

On October 20, 1981, after six previous unsuccessful attempts to rob a Brinks truck, Shakur and five or six other men succeeded in robbing one in Nanuet, New York.

During the robbery they killed one of the Brinks guards and seriously wounded another.

After grabbing the cash, they drove to another location where they transferred the money to a U-Haul truck driven by Boudin and her husband David Gilbert.

However, the transfer was seen and called in to the police, who set up a roadblock at the Tappan Zee Bridge.

A shootout followed in which two Nyack policemen were killed.

Afterwards, Boudin and some of her companions were captured as they attempted to flee, while others escaped successfully.
