1b) Rather than surrender to the undercover cop that identified himself and was trying to arrest them, Georg waited until the cop was distracted and then Georg tried to gun down the cop. Bommi also shot at the cop as soon as he heard shooting. The cop shot Georg to death instead, but Bommi was then able to shoot to death the cop in turn and escape. It was common knowledge between the cop, Georg and Bommi that the cop was risking his life to impose on Georg and Bommi the choices of surrendering and risking imprisonment or execution, killing the cop, or going out in a blaze of glory.
