   As Black soldiers headed back to their base, MPs confronted them on Station Road. A brawl ensued, during which the MPs fired shots. Private William Crossland of the 1511th was fatally shot in the back.

   With injured soldiers returning to base, rumors spread that MPs were targeting Black soldiers. In the colonel's absence, acting CO Major George C. Heris tried to restore order.
