Chalkhill Battle of 1960 remembered in Western Pennsylvania
A 1960 Chalk Hill shootout in Chalkhill near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, ended with Dan Raymond killing three people and wounding two before dying. Police could not reach him until a National Guard tank fired, burning the house and ending the siege. The episode, recounted from old files, underscores the need to periodically purge archives.
