A sad day for international peacekeeping
Kim Bigley, Lynne Marie Williams and Gary Weston were part of a 24-member convoy of officers preparing to leave the compound after their first day of training. The group of Americans had arrived in Kosovo on 7 April and had been deployed to Mitrovica just days before the incident. They were completing their first day of induction training when the attack occurred. “The Jordanian officer just started shooting at us,” a witness to the incident stated. “We had no time to react.” The American officers, two officers from the Turkish contingent and one Austrian were in a convoy of three vehicles inside the detention centre. The suspect allegedly opened fire at two vehicles near the closed gate of the compound. “We were trapped. We couldn’t get out [of the detention center],” one of the officers involved said.
