WACO, UNITED STATES: Branch Davidian members (L-R) Kathryn Schroeder, Brad Branch and Kevin Whitecliff shown in a file photo dated 01 April 1993 being escorted by U.S. marshal into federal court to be arraigned on charges stemming from the 28 February shootout at the cult compound. After a shootout in Waco in 1993 that killed four federal agents and six members of the Branch Davidian religious sect, authorities negotiated with cult leader David Koresh for 51 days. On the final day, 19 April 1993, a few hours after a government tank rammed the cult's wooden fortress, the siege ended in a fiery blaze, killing Koresh and 80 of his followers.
